When you see it in person, it seems larger than a CTS-V. More like a midsize car.

You guys need to see the picks in the new Motor Trend. They have a new fold out add for a bunch of Ponchos. The fold out two page picture is of the new g8 in black and it looks awesome.

Ponitac is going to be selling them like hotcakes if they really look that good. Too bad the high *** gas prices now is going to affect a lot of potential buyers

Supposedly with the AFM or whatever they call it now, it will be a pretty fuel effecient V8.

But like the old saying goes, if you can afford the car, you can afford the gas.

If someone says "I've got 35 grand burning a hole in my pocket for new car, but 22 avg mpg and $3.50 a gallon is too rich for my blood" somethings wrong.

This is the first Pontiac sedan I've ever liked. Well done, I hope it looks like this in production, with the exception of the wheels.

The G8 is as big or a little longer than a 5 series BMW. The back seat has some serious leg room.

I would take an Ignition Orange GT, and it all depends whether i want the auto or manual. The thing i love about the car is that it looks totally different than what people are used to seeing from Pontiac. I would love to get one and go make my friends 2007 BMW 335i look like crap.

I'm going to seriously look into getting one after graduation. Definitely the GT (unless the GXP comes out very late 2008 or early '09), and probably red. But definitely minus those wheels.
