Default Pontiac with a nice car?! - 02-21-2007, 11:04 PM

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

http://www.pontiac.com/g8/

with 362 Horses, thats quite impressive, RWD to boot

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

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.
