Good looks, a Corvette-sourced V8, rear-wheel drive, an optional manual transmission, and everyday usability. It’s about freakin’ time the domestics produced a car like this (in the 21st century), and it’s especially satisfying to see it come from a brand that prides itself in being all about performance. With its V6, the G8 will be offer average car buyers a family sedan with a different take on styling, but more importantly for Pontiac, enthusiasts will likely be clamoring for a test drive in a GT with a clutch and six cogs. Count us among them.
