Pontiac G8 opinions?

What do you guys think about the new Pontiac G8 GTs? They seem pretty sweet (361hp, 6.0 V8) and I am looking to pick up a 4 door car soon, in addition to my fixed up mustang. Could be a real fun option.

It's a saloon... the only saloons I like are BMW's or Audis.

It's ok, but the only Pontiac's I ever liked were the old GTO's, Trans Am's, and the Firehawks. The newer GTO's IMO looked like a Grand Am with a bigger engine. And the G8 looks kinda like a cheap rip-off of a BMW.

i think i could do for a longer hood. looks a little cheesy.. but the front looks great other than that. rear plastic splitter is kinda goofy on a sedan like this but ho hum. interior looks schweet...

I never been a fan of Automatics. So unless your an old-fart, female, or just plain retarded, you have no excuse for driving an Automatic imho.

I love Caddies, the CTS-V is sick.
