On December 11, 2007, the Chicago Cubs signed Kosuke Fukudome to a four year, $48 million contract. As much as we love the Pontiac G8, we can’t honestly say that it would be our car of choice with that kind of money; however, Cubs right-fielder and lead-off batter, Fukudome would. Immediately after getting his driver’s license, he spent some of his $48 million on a 2008 Panther Black Metallic (80U) G8 GT.
