Just got the first Pontiac G8 in yesterday

not the 6 liter, 3.6 V-6, pretty loaded(leather, heated seats, 6disc, power everything, no nav.). stock 18's(19's optional) I must say not a bad car. Its a Pontiac I would actually consider buying. Fit and finish of a Euro(I know its a Holden, which helps) Interior decent, but not up to VAG standards, better then ANY previous pontiac. Handles well for a large sedan, needs a V8, the six just doesnt have enough get up and go for me. I hope the G8 is a sign of things to come from Pontiac, seems to be heading in the right direction! I am waiting for the GXP in 09. 7 liters of detroit goodness.... MPG FTL! :-) sticker on this one was $30k. not bad for what you get.

I like it. Still no word on the 6spd with the 6.0. I would consider one.

I would have NEVER considered one until I saw this.... Audi wasnt such a great

brand either not too long ago... I wouldnt have looked twice at them till the A4 was redesigned in the late 90's. And it is a Holden so thats how I can justify it! :-)
