Extremely comfortable backseat, although serious hump in the center eliminates almost all leg room for center seat. Four in comfort all day long, large armrest, good visibility forward and to the side. Nice support, split folding seats and cargo passthru see full Pontiac G8 review |

Cannot get comfortable - ever. Hurts my lower back after just 15 mins. I have the leather seats w/ premium package. No lateral support/bolstering either. Lumbar support useless. see full Pontiac G8 review |

2009 | 4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Most powerful sedan for under $40k. Beats any stock 4.6L Mustang, any Charger/300, and even most European sports sedans short of M5/AMG/RS or the $100K crowd. see full Pontiac G8 review |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
A fast "thirsty" engine when you need it, BUT also an efficient 25mpg cruiser on the highway (thanks to AFM) when just coasting along! see full Pontiac G8 review |

The 361 horspower, going thru a 6 speed auto to rear wheel drive! Lots of get up and go but with reasonable fuel mileage if you drive reasonably. see full Pontiac G8 review |

This thing is brutally fast. It accelerates with ease, and you always feel like you have torque to spare, even at highway speeds and in normal shifting mode. see full Pontiac G8 review |

LS2 variant L76 V8 attached to Corvette derived 6-speed automatic and rear end. Really, what else is there to say? Gobs of power launches this two ton rocket 0 to 60 in 5.1 to 5.4 seconds. Baby it on the highway and you can eek out 24 MPG. see full Pontiac G8 review |

Only 256 hp which for a full size sedan is not enough to keep up with a 2.0 T 4 cylinder vehicle that has 274 Hp. see full Pontiac G8 review |
