     In 2008, GM released the Pontiac G8 GT.  Based on the Holden Commodore SV6 platform, the G8 GT provides performance (muscle) that American drivers want with the luxury and space a family needs.  This car is a head turner and potentially one of the best kept secrets in the American automobile market.  The G8 GT generates 361 HP and can reach 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, all for under $30,000.  While it won’t outperform its smaller muscle car mates, it easily outshines similar cars in this class in both performance and price.  With a 400 HP GXP model slated for early 2009, Pontiac has re-invented “driving excitement.” 

     Consumers in the market for a quality vehicle with both room and performance should consider the G8 GT.  You won’t be disappointed.  And for good measure, the G8 GT will get 24 MPG on the highway.  How many other muscle cars can do that?  Plus, with the Obama administration and the Democrats in congress pushing “Cap and Trade” and supporting CAFE standards, buying a V8 may be a thing of the past.  Better gobble them up while you can.  The following YouTube compares the G8 GT with the Charger R/T.
