2009 Pontiac G8 GXP Reviews
"As refreshing as it is that Pontiac has finally—and appropriately—embraced rear-wheel drive for its newest family sedan, the G8 lacks the suds to match the most powerful versions of its muscular rear-drive competitors"—CarAndDriver.com1
"Exterior upgrades include a more imposing nose with a lower splitter and fog lamps, and a rear diffuser that will—no doubt—be viewed by lots of drivers as they're dusted by the GPX."
