The new G8 looks fucking gorgeous! The rear looks like an Audi A4, and the front looks like a mean BMW M3

with 362 Horses, thats quite impressive, RWD to boot

I just looked at the inside pics, this car is actually really really gorgeous inside to.

I saw this a while ago. Im glad they are going in the direction of forward and not old relics.

Dude im "building" a Pontiac G6 GT, they have tons of exterior customizations, 18 inch wheels and all kinds of other cool little things to add, i have this one im building for like 23,000 fully loaded and shit, 225HPs. not to shabby.

Its a shame Pontiacs arent to popular. Hopefully with this new lineup they will start to compete with Ford, Dodge and Chevy.

I jsut checked out their line up. I was surprised to see the grand priz had a HUD and paddle shifters. Guess pontiac is finally getting their shit together and possibly making good cars now.

my automatic 2002 four door sunfire > thier whole line up.

No manual transmission? Just another gay car sleeping:

Where have you guys been ? Pontiac is becoming GM's line to compete BMW, Audi and the like. Pontiac has completely been overhauled to say the least.

1. G8 = a Holden as well

2. All pontiacs are supposed to be RWD performance driven by 2010.

just because it comes STANDARD with an automatic doesnt mean there isnt an optional manual.. im not gonna research, but i'd bet you alot of bones there is going to be that option... sleeping:

Those pontiacs just look like what Holdens have looked like for the past decade.
