Default 2008 pontiac g8

If someone has already brought this up, then I guess the mods can delete this post. I was reading through this month's Automobile magazine and saw the Pontiac G8. It looks really nice. They've imitated the BMW front grill. I like it a lot. Apparently its the same as the Holden Commodore. What do you guys think?

i'm pretty sure that the four tail-pipes qualify it as quad exhaust.

i am the first to admit that things are going very badely for the american automaker, but they aren't finished yet. how long ago was nissan almost bankrupt? they turned around pretty good not haven't they? gm can do that to if they learn from what they have done wrong in the past and use it in the their future car designs.

if they can design a line up of more cars like this, the could be on the road to recovery. they don't have to be big gas guzzling monstrocities, they just have to be well made, passionately designed, and properly fulfill their purpose dutifully.

things like that could probably save a car company.

The G8 is a step in the right direction. GM HAS to make cars that people excited and they HAVE to be high quality. Also they have to be practicle. The G8 has all of those things with a nice 360 hp ls2. Plus it seats five.

yeah, if it didn't have a pontiac emblem on it, i might consider buying one, but i think i'll wait for the chevy impala version.

ur absolutly right, only one small thing though. they unveil cars like these yet they take years before they come out. the g8 won't be out untill next summer, and the new camaro unveiled last year wont be seen untill early 09 (camaro was killed in 2002 they should have been working on the new one then and releasing the new model for the 07 year). cars like this should be out now, not 3 yrs from now when they use in in advertising and such and you get sick of looking at the damn thing. Thats exactly the car I wanted be4 I got the scion and all i can say is that they lost a sale on account of them taking their sweet a$$ time. Dodge has done so many different custom variations on the Challenger concept already and its not even out yet, and quite frankly I am gettin a lil sick of lookin at it and I don't appreciate being teased either.
