I've owned imports and German cars my entire life. I can't believe I looked at a Pontiac and bought it. Seriously, I know there are lots of people out there like me reading this, this is a fantastic car you would be a fool to ignore it you are looking at BMW. Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus. etc. Go drive one and tell me I'm wrong. This is not the plastic fantastic Pontiac that I remember! It is a refined truly remarkable machine that will blow the doors off of 98 percent of the cars on the road today. Buy one and have some fun, you know you want to.

This car is a winner, I got it for my wife because she wanted a sports car and I couldn't afford the vette, and she can't drive a stick, so it was this, the black gt, she can't stop driving it long enough for me to go somewhere in it. Awesome. By the way you can get a locking fuel cap, I used my old 96 astro cap it works.

After 3 months

I have had my G8 GT for almost w months know and the more I drive it the more I love it. Getting use to where all the switches are and comfortable with it. Only big expense besides gas has been a oil change. 8 quarts of Mobil 1 are not cheap. The more I drive this car the more impressed I am with it. Merging into freeway traffic can be almost frightening. Any thing more than 1/4 throttle and you are going from 45 mph to 80 mph in about two heartbeats. Even after 3 months it is still hard to get more than 16 mpg. I think that has something to do with that thing Pontiac puts under your right foot. It keeps sucking your foot to the floor and putting a smile on your face. LOL

For the money, my G8 smokes everything else in its class. It puts a smile on my face every time I put my foot in it. I test drove the Cadillac CTS, and really wanted to buy it, but couldn't justify the extra $10K.

I traded in a 2008 mustang GT with about 6,000 miles on for the G8 GT. it has nearly the same acceleration (but not the same exhaust note), much more room, and a less tacky (but still not sophisticated) dashboard. I like this vehicle but there are a lot of things done wrong - see suggested improvements below.
