    “supercar performance and real world practicality”

    “think an M5, but with a Corvette engine and better steering.”

    “this isn’t just some overpowered muscle car, the G8 GXP can seriously handle.”

    “the G8 GXP can seriously handle.”

    “the overall impression is of lithe performance.”

    "If I were to tell you GM is the new BMW you'd probably laugh at me. But driving the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP just a couple of months after the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and Corvette ZR1, that's exactly what I'm thinking."

    "[Pontiac G8 GT] pack’s the performance punch of competitors costing thousands more.
    (hint: Germany never saw this coming)"

    “The G8 GXP is a terrific, all-around sport sedan that runs with high-priced Germans…it is the best-performing, most well-balanced production Pontiac ever. That tells you all you need to know.” 

    “Mention BMW's seminal sport sedan and a Pontiac in the same breath? In this instance, without hesitation.”

    “There is no better representative of Pontiac's design revolution than the new G8 GXP.”

  • Autoblog.com

    The [G8] GXP is set to react like a sports car, so there’s 2-percent squat and 98-percent “Baby, it’s time to go!” 

    “We're here to tell you – and you can quote us on this – the Pontiac G8 GXP is @#$%&*! Awesome.”

     “That word "subtle" comes into sharper play when you sit the Pontiac next to its core competition: the Dodge Charger SRT/8. The Dodge is all furrowed brow and hulking brawn. The Pontiac is practically Clark Kent mild, perhaps without the tie and a few buttons undone.

    “the GXP is unquestionably solid – so much so that, if you're looking for something to compare it to, you'll compare it to the Germans.”

    “one last word on the interior: capacious. Or how about these: commodious, voluminous, ample. There's a ton of room inside.”

    “The crucial word to associate with this car is: "drive."

    “This leaves an equation giving us six speeds to unleash 415 hp and 415 lb-ft through a sport suspension and P245/40 R19 tires. On a 4,000-pound car. That means there are quite a few possible answers. The answer we came up with: "Oh @#%*! yeah."

    “Yet the G8 GXP is still, finally, a G8: an around-town Home-Depot-to-the-grocery-store-to-the-babysitter's-to-the-barbecue family car. Potholes and uneven roads are handled easily with no crashing, no bucking, none of the intrusive noises of a hard working yet pliable suspension.”

    “And after all of that, we don't need to make one excuse for this car's driving. None. Zero. It really is the most powerful Pontiac ever, and that's about so much more than just the engine. The car is fantastic. Which means our last quote of the day will be: "Get one while you can."

    The '09 Vibe's fuel economy, versatility and fresh new design - not to mention it's more powerful engine - are only a few of the reasons why our 2009 Pontiac Vibe made the Kelley Blue Book cut.

  • POPULAR MECHANICS, February 22, 2008

    "Well thanks to the all-new G8, Pontiac appears to have its mojo back."

    "Smoky burnouts? Check. Yes, it certainly accelerates like a muscle sedan. And our test car's melted-down,19-in. rear tires prove that."

    "The G8's suspension and steering systems are some of the best GM has produced." "Pontiac performance is back, baby."

  • AUTOWEEK, 11/29/07:

    "Easily the best-handling Pontiac sedan ever made...it was just about flawless."

    "It had one of the most comfortable rear seats of any sedan."

  • MOTOR TREND, February 2008:

    "Immediately gains admission into a lofty arena occupied by the likes of BMW and Infiniti."

    "...merits BMW, Infiniti and Lexus intenders to drop by the Pontiac store for a serious look."

    "For relatively modest bucks you get mega performance."

    "The G8 is a genuine, kick-the-tail-out sport sedan, not a front-drive compromise. Let us all pause now and give GM a huge round of applause."

    "At last, the high-adrenaline bod we've been waiting for-plus a romping V-8, Randy Moss moves, and amazing room at a mega-value sticker."

    "The G8 is a genuine, kick-the-tail-out sport sedan."

  • EDMUNDS INSIDE LINE, February 21, 2008:

    "...G8 delivers a ride and handling ... that falls just short of perfect."

    "...the G8 GT is the best Pontiac since John Z. invented the first GTO in 1966...You know, the one that started the whole muscle car thing."

    "Rear seat room is also worth mentioning. You can play volleyball back there."

    "With the blast from zero to 60 mph taking only 5.4 seconds and the quarter-mile flashing by in just 13.7 seconds at 104 mph, this is a stupendously quick car."

    "Forget for a moment that in every performance category the G8 GT walks all over the Charger R/T. Go ahead and overlook the G8's more aggressive decoration and attractively sinister countenance. Just concentrate your mind on this: The Pontiac is cheaper."

    "The G8 whipped around the skid pad with 0.85g of grip and then screamed through the slalom at nearly 66 mph. That's not only clearly better than the Charger, but comparable to the BMW 35i Inside Line tested back in June."

    "With this G8 GT, Pontiac just redefined the butch, rear-wheel-drive V8-powered sedan that doesn't cost stupid money. And this is only the beginning. The coming Pontiac G8 GXP will put them all on the trailer."

    "But success always brings new competition along for the ride, and Pontiac is about to eat Dodge's lunch."

    "In braking, the G8 also dominated the Charger - the pattern here is pretty obvious."

    "Behind the G8's V8 rests GM's simply outstanding 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission."
