Earlier this past week i saw a Red G8 GT, must have been dealer traded it was on the Highway with window stickers and all..
Caught me outta the corner of my eye. First i though it was a GTO (due to the Hood) then i saw the rest of it. Almost wrecked looking at it. Good lookin ride.

Saw a couple of these at the NY Auto show saturday, very nice cars, and comfortable interior.

Hell, even the truck version looked way better in person than it does in pictures.

I saw a optioned out black G8 GT yesterday at my local Pontiac dealership. I must say it looks better in person than in pics (and I thought the pics looked damn nice)!! I thought the interior was very nice for the price.
Even though MT bashed on the electronics, I thought the Blaupunkt (sp?) stereo display was very crisp and nice (it had the 11 speaker, amp, sub option). Can't wait to test drive one!

word is GM Pontiac is working on implementing navigation for sometime in '09. The car really needs it, then it can fully compete with BMW.

bigbenSC · 04-02-2008, 06:43 AM

^ Agreed, the huge screen on the premium radio is obviously meant for navi, but GM was too cheap to get it ready for launch.

The lack of navigation across the board at GM is something they need to fix now. Not having navigation as an option in the mid size cars is crazy this day in age. Even the Cobalt/G5 should have it by now.

So the GT is fast as balls (quicker than most LS2 GTOs...), I wonder what the GXP will put down?
