Perfect Blend

After reading the Edmunds Editor review I have to conclude that he or she did not even drive the car. First of all the GXP V8 weighs less than the old 3.8 supercharged GTP and I have seen 0 - 60 in less than 6 seconds. This car is a great blend of performance, fun, comfort and if driven correctly on the highway can get super mileage. I have been averaging 29 mpg on the highway and can still punch it out from a red light and leave a nice cloud of smoke in the rear view mirror. True to the G8 is a great performance car, but try driving it in the snow. At least the GXP gives you the V8 push and still offers descent year round driving capabilities. Next time have your editor drive one.

Always a pontiac

My car has only 51,000 miles and being a senior, I don’t drive that much but on highway driving I get 24 mpg. My car has excellent pickup, still looks good. People always ask me if I want to sell. It is black with red stripes and comfy to drive. But I intend to keep this car forever. Have always had pontiacs since my first 1964 Bonneville and all served me well. No problems on any. Wish they still made pontiacs.

Instant Classic!

Last year of the Pontiacs. 08 Grand Prix GXP SHOULD go down as one of the last muscle car classics. I would garage it for a few years then auction it for a ton but I'm not that smart.

Very Comfortable Car: a few design flaws

We just drove this car for a week and drove 3,000 miles in it (with our dog). It was a very comfortable, great car with a lot of room. We drove it from Nevada to Nebraska in rain, blowing snow, gusting winds and some black ice.

Best Car Ever Made

The 2008 Grand Prix GXP is a blast to drive.this is my 4th Pontiac and are the more reliable cars on the road. Had a 98 Grand Am with over 250,000 on it when I sold it and it was still running a of 2 years ago (lost track of it). I love the power when you step on the accelerator you can feel the g's pulling you back in your seat.S for winter driving I had no problems in the 2009 winter here in the North Idaho. Put 4 studded tires on and went everywhere in 12" of snow and ice. The exterior could use a little more chrome here and there.
