Featured Vehicle - The 2013 Pontiac G8
2009 PONTIAC G8: Introduced at last year?s Chicago Auto Show, the G8 lineup?s performance range expands in ?09 with the track-tuned GXP model. Motivated by a 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 that makes more than 400 horses and imbued with razor-sharp ride and handling traits, the GXP is the ultimate expression of Pontiac style and performance. Along with the GXP, the line up comprises the base G8 and G8 GT. All G8 models are available as a five-passenger, four-door sedan, which is the first North American application of GM?s new global rear-wheel-drive architecture developed by Holden, GM?s Australian subsidiary. Power to the base G8 is supplied via a 3.6-liter V-6 with variable valve timing, rated at 261 h.p., and paired with a five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. The GT model houses the 362 h.p., 6-liter V-8 engine with six-speed manual gearbox. Additionally, four new colors are added to the G8?s exterior palette: Maverick Silver Metallic, Sport Red Metallic, Stryker Blue Metallic and Pacific Slate Metallic.
