2009 Pontiac G8


The 2009 Pontiac G8 ranks 1 out of 5 Muscle Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 31 published reviews and test drives of the Pontiac G8, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Not only does the Pontiac G8 look powerful, but it's a tough performer too. Add to that a sporty, yet comfortable interior, and the G8 is a real winner.
Based on the much-loved Commodore, a product of General Motors' Australian subsidiary Holden, the 2008 Pontiac G8 is a badass four-door back-road burner. In fact, its performance dynamics are so much greater than traditional sedans that it competes with the Ford Mustang and Dodge Charger as an American muscle car. Edmunds explains: "At the G8's moderate price point, the Dodge Charger/Chrysler 300 twins are the only other roomy, rear-wheel-drive, full-size performance sedans available. The Chrysler siblings are certainly competent, but the G8's sporting character sets it apart."
Indeed, it's hard to find fault with the G8's fierce combination of power, agility, comfort and style. And though some buyers may divert their attention to the Ford Mustang for its retro muscle car style and convertible top option, the Pontiac G8 trumps it in terms of power, backseat comfort, and quality of materials.
If you're considering a Pontiac G8 , now is the time to act fast. Due to a record sales slump, General Motors has recently announced that it is shutting down Pontiac. This means that you may be able to get a great deal on a new Pontiac G8 -- with warranties being honored by other GM-brand dealerships, like Chevrolet and Cadillac. Still, keep in mind that because the company is being nixed, the value of Pontiac vehicles is likely to depreciate at a fast pace. If, however, you plan on holding onto your Pontiac for a long time -- that shouldn't matter.
The Pontiac G8 is available in two trims, the base Sedan and GT. A high performance GXP model is also available, but covered in a separate review.
