    Pontiac Announces G8 Pricing
    New RWD Performance Sedan to Start Under $28k


    DETROIT - Pontiac today confirmed pricing for its new rear-wheel drive G8 performance sedan will start at $27,595 when it hits the streets in early 2008. The V-8 powered G8 GT will be available for $29,995.

    "The G8 represents the next phase in Pontiac's commitment to bring seductively designed, high-performance vehicles to the showroom floor," said Craig Bierley, Pontiac marketing director. "Our dealers and customers have been anxiously waiting for this vehicle since we first showed it at the Chicago Auto Show in February, so we're really excited to get this car on the street early next year."

    The G8 is powered by a 3.6-liter VVT V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission and comes equipped with a number of standard convenience and safety features, including StabiliTrak electronic stability control, six airbags and OnStar. The G8 GT ups the ante with a 6.0-liter V-8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and additional standard equipment.

    Customers can get a closer look at the G8 at www.pontiac.com/g8.
    The pricing looks good, but boo to no manual trans at this point.

    Re: Pontiac G8 press release

    I really liked the concept G8 at the NY auto show. It was one of the top nicest looking cars IMO. So... what is with Pontiac and all these "G's" lately? G5, G6, G8...? What about the G7? Did they forget that one? What is it suppose to mean? G what?

      i had assumed that the G# represented the cylinders in the engine.

      but when they called the G4 the G5 here, and since the G8 can be had with a 6, i got nothin.

              I think that the G is like the Z in Z28, I could be wrong I dont know. But the G8 does look alright.

                The G8 looks alright, one of the better looking sedans for sure i'd say, but it just doesn't look like something that would have a V8..it doesn't particularly look like a sports car.

                    It's a naming strategy to help brand recognition, especially in a global market.

                          HTF can pontiac be the performance brand but nothing but 4 bangs come in manuals? God I hate american car makers for this very reason. (yes, I know the Caddy comes in a manual, but if I can afford a Caddy, I'm buying another bimmer.) The Grand Prix was perfect for a manual, but nothing. and now the g8. ugh.
