Drives really smooth, power when you need it, fuel economy when you dont. A very simple car to use and a ton of room/ trunk space.

Pros: Big 6.0L V8, nice interior, comfortable seats. Tons of backseat room and trunk space.
Cons: All season wheels could be better looking. The battery meter needs to go.

Great power from the V6 motor
Build quality is good -the Aussies know how to put
together a car
Appearance is aggressive without being to flashy
The car is absolutely fun to drive, it feels well planted
in turns has plenty of power when you need it.  
GM....please reincarnate the car as a Chevy or Buick!!!

Pros: Aggressive styling, fun to drive, very comfortable
Cons: Not being made anymore...GM please reconsider and bring it back as a Chevy or Buick!!!

my g8 gt is the sweetest car I have ever driven. The performance is unbelievable. the fit and finish is such a vast improvement over previous pontiacs. A car you can feel cool in and still take the family out to dinner. I absoulutely love the car. sporty infinity's and lexus's look at you with envy knowing you can smoke them with ease. And for fuel economy, who the hell buys a 6.0 liter v8 for good gas mileage. Did I mention that I love this car!!

Pros: Looks, Power, Practicality, Quality, Price
Cons: Arn't any

Performance –
Acceleration, braking and handling on this car is phenomenal.  There is a reason all of the car rags compare it to BMW....

Build Quality –
Has not needed any repairs.  Has nice and tight panel gaps.

Appearance –
The exterior has a very European flair, but with the Panther Black Metallic paint, it is fairly stealthy.  The interior is very nicely styled (with the leather seats).

Cost of Ownership –
Hwy mileage is great for a 6.0L V8 - 27+ mpg.  In town, it is a function of how much you can keep your foot out of it.  Only other maintenance costs to date is oil changes.  A little pricey as it takes almost 10 qts of oil.

Fun Factor –
This car is an absolute blast to drive.  I ALWAYS enjoy driving it.

Other-
Tons of leg room for everyone, especially the back seat.  Largest trunk in its class (17+ cu ft, Charger & Maxima both have 15 cu ft).

Pros: Great performance, styling and has a lot of utility
Cons: I wish I had more than 1!!

Fast and sexy. What else could you want. 0-60 in
about 4 seconds now, 1/4 mid to high 12's, huge
breaks, great handling especially for a 4000 lb. car,
amazing exterior styling, very nice and roomy interior,
mileage sucks around time but is awsome on the
highway and fun to drive id say is a 9.5 on a scale
from 1 to 10.

Pros: Everything
Cons: Ass hole dealers, ridiculously restrictive stock air box and exhaust.

Fast as hell and still a family car.  The seats hug you well and the stereo cranks real nice, especially with 2000 watts pumping to two 12's in the trunk (my specialty).  

I get lots of great comments and a respectable MPG to boot!

Definitely recommend this car!

Pros: Excellent performance
Cons: glove box pops open if you jump railroad tracks

I bought the pontiac g8 because of the way it handles on the road. I've owned pontiacs before and I wasn't quite as pleased as I am with this car. It has everything heated leather seats, sunroof, digital stereo, V6 engine, and one of the sharpest looking cars I have ever seen.

Pros: 18in wheels, leather seats, perfect handling, great gas mileage
Cons: Nothing!
