Absolutely LOVE this car. It is big, fast, comfortable, solid, safe, fast, and fast. I went with White Hot with the red/onyx leather package. I can't decide if I like the inside or the outside more. We have our first baby on the way and I wanted a big 4 door sedan. Test drove a new Maxima and 300 C. Both nice cars, but the Maxi is front-wheel drive, and the 300 looks like a rental. The G8 outperforms and is unique...especially since Pontiac is history. Like so many other reviewers have said, get one while you still can. The back seat is comfy and roomy enough for adults. I can't wait to take this car a a nice long road trip.

Any criticism of the car becomes the smallest "administrivia" when you push down the gas pedal. Mine is very reliable, comfortable, devoid of irritating quirks or noises. I'm thrilled with this car. Wish I had another one "in reserve."

I traded my GTO for the G8. Much smoother and quieter and feels quicker around town. No problems so far, have owned for just over 2 months. Lots of room. Stereo speakers could be of better quality and wished the interior was available in other colors besides black. Interior looks good though and seats are very comfy. Really like the car and glad I bought it. Very fun to drive. No regrets.

I love the 2009 G8 GT that I recently purchased. Hot White with Onyx/Red cloth interior. One of the few early GT's built with leather delete and Onyx/Red interior. I'm asked questions all the time about the car. People cant believe that Pontiac was making such a great car, way under the radar. Try to find a four door sedan with a big V8, 6 speed auto trans. and RWD for under 35k. For those who complain about the overall fuel economy, remember that no one twisted your arm to buy a performance car. Can't have the ponies without having to feed them too. The G8 GT's and GXP's are the final chapter in a long line of fine cars. If Pontiac had to go, at least they went out with a bang!!

I have driven the 2009 G8 GT for a week now. It is a great handling car with unbelievable power.The gas mileage seems reasonable considering the horsepower. I have not had a car that I have enjoyed driving this much since I owned a late sixties GTO. Pontiac really got this one right.
