This will be my next work car if I can wrangle it, downunder rules
My father's company just bought a bunch of G8's as company cars for their sales managers. No excuse not to be on the road now! (wait till they see the fuel bill!)
Just another example of how GM has great engineers and a terrible marketing and executive departments
This has got to be a rule written down somewhere in GM's bureaucrazy somewhere: You must cancel anything as soon as the engineering staff gets it right, in order to create a cult classic and seal its reputation forever. Examples:
4050 lbs! Even our cars are obese!
Another good car goes away. Long suffering American car fans have one more thing to cry about.
Man when will GM open their eyes, this car was a home run! And some guy with a pen said nope gotta let it go, probably never even drove one, I have a G8 GXP with the t-56 as a DD. that guy has to be an idiot!
Poor Pontiac. Not only is GM pulling the plug, but in the last year they have released two of their coolest cars: the hardtop Solstice and the V8-powered G8 GXP.
Sure, the G8 comes from the land Down Under, but it's got two things that are as American as apple pie: rear-wheel drive and a honking V8 under the hood. Our test car even came with a six-speed transmission--a real, live manual six-speed transmission.
Combine that with a 6.2-liter LS3 and the G8's already capable RWD platform and you've got a car that fully lives up to Pontiac's "We build excitement" slogan. Too bad it will be gone so soon.
