Jacob Lingeman of AutoWeek just reviewed the 2008 Pontiac G8 Sedan V6. His review is short and broken down into four sections; interior, chassis, powerplant, and styling.
Pontiac G8 V6 Interior:
Overall, AutoWeek rates the interior highly. The interior accommodates all five passengers with comfortable seats and adequate personal storage space. The legroom easily accommodates taller passengers and the trunk is very spacious.
Pontiac G8 V6 Chassis:
It doesn’t sound like AutoWeek could have been more impressed with the chassis of the G8 V6. Lingeman said it was “solid-really solid” and without much body lean at all. Behind the wheel, steering was tight, the cockpit was quiet and the brakes provided more than enough stopping power.
Pontiac G8 V6 Powerplant:
At this point of his brief review, Jacob goes to say that he’s feeling a bit conflicted. He thinks the 256 hp V6 is adequate, but not awe-inspiring. Guess what Jake, that’s why Lutz and team made the G8 GT (V8) available for a mere $2,500 extra.
Pontiac G8 V6 Styling:
He says the G8 doesn’t “score high on the street-parking gawker scale” and that from the front and rear, the Pontiac G8 is a generic sedan, likened to the Grand Prix. Obviously this is a purely subjective statement and one that we disagree with completely.
