The last seven days have been pretty busy. G8Nation published nine articles and unfortunately that wasn’t enough to keep up with all of the G8 new in the media this week.

We’re happy to announce that we had our first featured Pontiac G8 with owner. Check out Jay’s 2008 Ignition Orange Metallic G8 GT. Any Pontiac G8 owner can have their G8 featured on G8Nation.

We published three Pontiac G8 reviews this week. The first G8 review of the week came from CNET, the technology-centric site that is more concerned with gigabytes than horsepower. Our first review from a Canadian publication came from John Turley-Ewart of the National Post reviewing both the G8 V6 sedan & GT. Finally, the reviews wrapped up with the Fox News review of the 2008 Pontiac G8 GT.

Not wanting to leave the spotlight of stupidity to Robert Steinmiller, we had a couple of G8 shenanigans in the news this week. The first incident involved a stolen 2007 Gold Pontiac G8 and the other was the owner of a G8 with a stolen license plate stealing $27.99 worth of gas from Sheetz in Carlisle, PA.

G8Nation gave our friends at Precision Motorsports of Florida a hand by helping them find a Pontiac G8 V6 to be featured in an upcoming issue of High Performance Pontiac Magazine with G8 #001.

Holden announced the availability of the HSV W427, the G8’s Australian sibling packing the powerful 7.0 liter LS7 V8.

Finally, we just found out the Jimmy Kimmel and Ed McMahon have teamed up to do a series of Pontiac commercials for the G8, G6, G5 and Vibe. The first commercial will air the night Monday July 28 during Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC.

Keep sending us your Pontiac G8 news and questions.

Filed under “loser”.  Unfortunately, it looks like yet another Pontiac G8 owner has broken the law.  To one up the Pontiac G8 owner & thief in Little Havana Florida who was part of a gas stealing scheme, we now have reports of the theft of gas and a license plate.

According to Carlisle, PA Police, “the driver of a newer model gray Pontiac, possibly at G8″, stole $27.99 in gas from Sheetz at 1900 Ritner Highway at 12:48 p.m. Saturday July 19 also had a stolen license plate.

The Pennsylvania registration GZP9694 had been reported stolen from Mechanicsburg, police said. The driver was described as a male wearing a white or light-colored T-shirt and dark calf-length shorts who drove the car, possibly a G8, toward Interstate 81, police said.

Police ask anyone with information about the theft to call 243-5252.
