Best Car Gm Has Built...too Bad It's Dead. Better For Me Though. Makes The Car Rare! — Performance - wow...this thing can move! Build Quality - The best I've seen coming from an American car. Appearance - It turns a ton of heads... Cost of Ownership - Not bad so far. Fun Factor - Totally fun to drive. I try to drive it as much as I can!

Way Better Than You Can Imagine. — 0-60 in 5.3 sec. is not an exaggeration. This thing is fast. It will put you back in your seats. Also gets 20 MPG on average if i'm not speeding too much. Which is pretty hard to do. Amazing Car!

G8 Review — My car is awesome. It is really fast especially on acceleration it does a 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. I am hoping to do more work to it and get it up to at least 500 hp but 700 would be better.

Pontiac G8 Gt Will Put A Smile On Your Face!! — the only thing better than the acceleration is the fact that the brakes STOP the car asap when you need it. it is more money for the car than the chrysler 300 or dodge charger. Not many people on the highway can keep up with me or even come close. Along with OnStar voice navigation, this car takes it ti the next level and actually has a graphic navigational system. Very cool!!

Gr8 Gt — With 361 hp and 385 torque, this four door sedan will blow your mind. Brembo brakes, nice tight racing handling. Quality and appearance is incredible..its Aussie made. Get about 20mpg mixed. Its unbelievably fun... I would highly recommend this car to a friend. For a fully loaded G8 GT, you are looking at 33k compared to the bmw 550 at upwards of 60

2009 Pontiac G8 Gt — performance was great for a v6, handles well, great brakes, comfortable seats, hard to use blaupunkt audio system with 5 inch screen took 5 minutes to change to radio channel, love the shiftable 5 speed automatic, did not like hump in back, massive car, would buy if gas prices were not going up and not being discontinued
