Why? just get the Camaro, may be around the same price and much better looking and probably faster.

Simple answer the power on the 8 sucks. The 8 may look nicer but that's only part of the equation. Some people like the feeling of 360+HP. Most driving on the street caters to straightline cars so the G8 trumps the 8 there. Shit even at a track like Road America the G8 will take the 8.

u know... i saw one of these in red on the road the other day. and, it does look much nicer in person. it looks like a bmw clone from some angles, and that's not too shabby. :)

Jedi54 08-22-2008 03:19 PM

looks like a bimmer? No wonder you liked it. ;)

omg, that thing is SO hideous!! (the ST)

RotoRocket 08-22-2008 03:45 PM

Anyone who hasn't been in a G8 would be blown away by the torque, the brakes and the rigidity of the body.

The boys down under from Holden know their shit. That's damn skippy.

DOMINION 08-22-2008 08:14 PM

I would hope they know their shat. They got it from us lol

Present and accounted for.

NgoRX8 08-23-2008 01:18 PM

nothing wrong with pontiacs, but razz is obsessed with it. haha

Razz1 08-23-2008 01:33 PM

The ST is a great car for those that like that style.

Rotary Rasp 08-25-2008 12:16 AM

i'm sorry razz, but the front of the g8 is fugly...

secret8gent 08-25-2008 12:51 AM

i'll admit i've had my eye on the ST version (maybe i'm a freak) but it does seem like a good compromise to meet my specific needs/wants. only problem is, it is still a ways off (1 year?) if it was out today i'd seriously consider a lease. In the meanwhile I might get a conventional small pickup which would cancel a good bit of the justification.

Grand-Am is using them as pace cars this year and I got to ride in one while they did some hot laps. The car handles amazing not to mention the torque.

I'd chose Lexus IS250 anytime over ugly G8!

+1
A friend of mine just chose a IS350 over a g8.The IS350 was certified used and still had a longer warranty.He said "If Im going to drag around 500lbs I want more features not less". The Is had homelink/auto dimm,cooled seats,good leather,hid headlights,paddle shifters,backup camera,sunroof,and many other nice features the g8 did not have.
yes it was used but when you have 30k to spend why would you waste it on a fat pig like the g8.

Not fair comparison. You can buy a used IS350 for 30K, but the G8 is a first year model car, and there are no used G8's.

A new G8 GT starts at $29,900. A new IS350 starts at $36,300... How about we compare a G8 GXP when it comes out and it's under $36K fully loaded? A G8 GXP will kick the living sh*t out of an IS350 in every performance category. I'll guarantee it. Believe me?

might be a bit faster, but it will still be butt ugly xD
