I challenge anyone to find a car in the $29-33k range that can compare to the G8 in terms of size, power, and features.
 
Hyundai Genesis? Chrysler 300C? Dodge Charger R/T? A 3+year old BMW 545i, Mercedes E500, Audi A6 4.2, Infiniti M45, Chrysler 300C SRT8, Dodge Charger SRT8, Dodge Magnum SRT8? Heck, a GTO?! There's plenty. But I see where you're coming from, though.

300c - A lot more money
Genesis - Possibly, but w/v8 will be 37k
Charger - Maybe, but again, more money equivilently equipped
 
Used - Hard to compare used v. new, although i did think of an A6, E500 as well, but the used v. new got me.

Can't find the '09 G8 on Pontiac web site by nojalopy1

New year model has been out for many weeks, and you *still* can't find it on the Pontiac web site. Lousy marketing.
 
I can find inventory going to specific dealer web sites.

Use G8 Key fob on G6 by bvdj84

I would like to know if the G8 key fob can be programmed to my 08 G6, many times you can use another key fob within the same brand. I really like the new G8 key fob, it reminds me of the VW, Audi fobs, which makes me wonder if they had to get permission to use their designs.
 
 I have seen 08 Accord owners use an 09 acura key fobs, they did have to modify them, but I would be willing to do this. I am pretty sure it can be done. I'll go to the pontiac dealership, and see if I can order a key fob for me, and program it.
 
If anyone is savvy on this, let me know...

NO. SUCH a different electrical system, fobs, etc. that it will not work. It works on the Acura/Honda because they share electrical system components and use the same kind of remote systems.
 
Not the case with the Aussie G8 and the domestic G6 on a completely different platform, etc. So, no dice. I like the switchblade too, but that's not enough. Won't work. The only choice aside from stock with the G6 are GM's new 2-way advanced remote start remotes with a screen that shows data about the car and has greater range, etc. It's a new GM accessory.
 
Otherwise...back to the great G8!

Well, I am still investigating. Even if I have to buy one, and modify it myself.
 
Yes, the G8 is awesome, but they are piling up at my dealership. If they offered a decent lease deal, I would highly consider it, but that is the only way. They aren't.
 
That have some really nice colors offered, and they are not boring or tacky at all.
I would almost not want to choose black because that is a typical color, that almost would be the only one that would make it pretty much blend in with every other car on the road. I sat in one, but I have not test drove one yet, I think I will soon!

Haha, I bet, I have been really really wanting to, but feel that if I do, I will want it.
 
But, unless they are offer a lease, a decent lease, than I probably won't get one.

And that's what happened to me also. I had been researching the G8 GT for a while and went to the dealer yesterday. Test drove the V8 and that was it. After a few hours of the usual horse trading, drove a 2008 Magnetic Gray Metallic G8 GT home. All I can say is wow. Pontiac really nailed this one.
