Performance is beyond outstanding. Ride, handling and creature comforts are amazingly good for a sport sedan in this price range. Fuel economy is plenty fine for a 361-horse power big block V-8; and the car's electronics make it easy to stay on top of performance indicators and be entertained while I drive. I leased a BMW 650i for three months just before I boght the G8...at more than twice the price of the Pontiac, the BMW offered very little more than this G8 in terms of comfort, handling, performance and fit-finish-textures...certainly not enough to justify the price difference. I hope GM brings this car back under a new badge...every American should have the chance to own and drive a winner like this car.

Was looking for one for months, and while at a dealership to finalize an order and trade in my CTS, bumped into the sleeper. Had a short test drive and was convinced with the Euro drive feeling. The G8 handles like a beefed up CTS, is more roomy and features all the amenities the CTS was giving me. Thanks for your review, it just confirmed spontaneous decisions can also be wise sometimes.
