Remember the days of the muscle car? Those great days may soon go away, but not if Pontiac has anything to say about it.
Despite gas prices, Pontiac recently released the G8 GT . This is a muscle car that doesn’t get the best gas mileage, but you still get quite a bang for your buck. It has plenty of power that you simply can’t find in new cars nowadays with more than 360 horsepower and a six-speed V8. Remember when they used to measure a car’s significance by how fast it can go from zero to 60 mph? The G8 does it in just under six seconds.
Here’s something else you might like about the G8: If you’re uncomfortable with they power and muscle, you can get a "less muscular edition," or a G8 lite. It has a smaller engine (V6 instead of a V8) which gives you slightly better gas mileage. But reviewers say the increased gas mileage isn’t enough to warrant getting the cheaper version. You might as well stick with the full-on muscular version.
Car and Driver said the Pontiac G8 is quite spacious and agile. It has a muscular appearance that any car enthusiast would appreciate. Reviewers at C&D even said it’s the best thing to happen to Pontiac since KITT was a Pontiac Trans Am in the 1980s TV show Knight Rider.
Sound interesting? Your local Pontiac dealer undoubtedly has some of these sitting on their lot right now. And with people shying away from muscle cars in recent months, you can probably get a great deal on one. Test drive one today and see what I mean.
