Watch out Woodward, here comes the Pontiac G8. It’s a bold statement that’s supported by equally powerful words coming from Scott Burgess of The Detroit News. Just when we thought we heard all of the quotable G8 quotes, Burgess drops an arsenal of quotes on us that the Pontiac marketing team would be proud of.
We’re not ones to plagiarize, but we can’t find an appropriate way to summarize what Burgess had to say about the G8. Don’t look for any continuity or editorial form G8Nation in this post. We’ve decided to turn this into a post of Burgess quotes.
“Brawny and downright mean-looking, the G8 offers rubber-burning fun whether sprinting from stop light to stop light in Woodward tradition or speeding through twisty country roads. Dollar for dollar, this is the best Pontiac on the road today.”
“The G8 is the best of Detroit, or at least Australia, where the G8 is built. General Motors Corp., using its new global rear-wheel drive platform that also will host the new Camaro, has bestowed its Outback subsidiary, Holden, as the rightful caretaker of rear-wheel fun.”
“The wham-bam launch comes with power, but the fun stays due to the fully-four wheel independent suspension. It keeps the G8’s 18-inch tires glued to the road.”
“The handling is distinctively European — a combination of clean, precise steering and a quiet ride — but tap the gas and that throaty V-8 sings a beautiful baritone in your ear.”
“The G8 is not just the best performer for Pontiac, it also has the best interior out of the current crop of cars.”
“The clear taillights and quad exhaust tips covered in chrome demonstrate the attention to detail. Under the microscope, the G8 looks even better.”
“The front end is raw and magnificent. Most people giving the G8 an appreciative stare quickly notice the twin scoops on the hood.”
“The engine may provide the G8 with heart, the suspension may give it passion, but it’s the price that makes this car a contender. Every consumer wants a bargain.”
