| Why Buy A Used Pontiac? | | 2008-06-24 07:40:18 | | Pontiac cars have a long and cherish history in the American auto industry. Well loved for it's sleek design and driving comfort. Pontiacs are trusty and has great heritage to boot. I have driven a Pontiac Grand Prix myself back in 2001 and I must say it was one of the most memorable experiences. The most memorable thing I remember doing with the Grand Prix I drove back then was the time when I "floored" it and made the wheel screech. I was young then and I was probably too much of a show-off for my good. Evidence of that are several moving violations I got in a year. Enough about me. I enjoyed the power behind that Pontiac's drivetrain. Power that can only be from a tru blue American car. That's the reason that even today it is still desirable to buy a used Pontiac.I've done a little research about used Pontiacs and found many who bought them have been more than satisfied for what they got. The Grand Prix, for example, is still praised for its awesome design even for old models years | | By: Beijing 2008 Olympics Blog | | |

| Pontiac G8 GT: No longer most powerful car under $30K | | 2008-06-19 08:36:00 | | If you like horsepower, speed and a usable back seat, the Pontiac G8 GT was a great deal with an MSRP of $29,995. In fact, Pontiac advertised the 2008 model as just such a bargain: "Most powerful car starting under $30K," which is riding the line pretty close.But the company will have to ditch that ad campaign with the 2009 model as prices for a G8 GT will now begin at $31,360, or some $1,365 more than the previous year. Some of the cost is due to more standard luxuries like XM Radio, but at least part of the increase can be blamed on those familiar culprits of a weak U.S. dollar and rise in material costs. Still, we would've thought some of the car's cost was trimmed by ditching the oversized auxiliary gauges for the car's battery charge and oil pressure. Guess not.[Source: GM Inside News via Motor Authority] | | By: Car News | | |

| Pontiac G8 GT with 557 bhp by APS | | 2008-05-20 14:15:00 | | APS, the specialist tuning house with over 25 years of turbo tuning, has turned a Pontiac G8 into something of a Pontiac GR8 (or great). Realizing some potential in the 6.0-litre V8 used in the G8, APS then got to grips with it by installing an intercooled twin turbo system, which is cleverly mounted under the chassis so heat moves away from the engine. Clever yes, if you live in a town with no speed humps and other road oddities.What power then? How’s about 557 bhp on the trot? And torque? That’s 583.8 ftlb. It’s good figures by any measure, and APS says its system ensures access to all this munchy power and delivers through quite a flat range. The intercoolers work hard to cool things down such that APS claims a quarter mile run twice or more up and down the straight will not even sweat its G8 system.So those who own VXR8s and HSV Clubsport R8s will be welcome at APS to see how much further things can go.

| 2008 Pontiac G8 - Review | | 2008-05-16 02:29:24 | | The official replacement for the Pontiac Grand Prix has been announced as the brand new, rear wheel drive 2008 Pontiac G8. This full-size, 4-door, performance oriented sedan comes as the base model G8 with a V6 engine and the supercharged G8 GT with a V8. This solid performer is reminiscent of the Pontiac's that used to excite and inspire-and at under $30,000, both models are priced well below similarly equipped sedans on the market today.The G8 debuted at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show and has been scheduled to hit the streets sometime during the first quarter of 2008. The G8 has clean lines and a strong shouldered appearance, accented by a dual port chrome grille with black inserts, dual polished stainless steel exhaust tips, dual hood scoops, tinted glass and low profile rear spoiler. The base model G8 will be powered by a 261 horsepower V6 mated to a 5 speed manually interactive automatic transmission with overdrive. The highly anticipated G8 GT will have a 365 horsepower 6.0 liter V8 | | By: all news about cars | | |

| Pontiac G8 GXP To Debut At New York Auto Show | | 2008-05-04 15:34:00 | | A few weeks ago we brought you news that GM was preparing to introduce a GXP variant for the Pontiac G8 sedan. Now the company has officially released information regarding the model ahead of its New York Auto Show debut.Power comes from a slightly detuned version of the LS3 6.2L V8 engine found in the Corvette. Producing 402hp and 402 ft-lbs of torque in the GXP, the car has a healthy increase of 41 hp and 16 ft-lbs of toque over the GT version. GM estimates a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a quarter mile time of 13 seconds flat at 108 mph.Making an appearance on the G8 options list for the first time is a six speed manual transmission. Both automatic and manual versions will come with a limited-slip differential. A Nürburgring tuned sport suspension and powerful Brembo brakes ensure the GXP has more sporting potential than anything Pontiac has made in decades.Exterior differences include new polished aluminum 19-inch wheels, a unique front fascia and a distinctive rear diffuser.

| Pontiac G8 Sport Truck Unleashed | | 2008-05-04 15:32:00 | | The legendary Chevrolet El Camino truck is carved into US car history in its very own, unique and special way. Its beginnings can be traced back to 1959 when the first generation, based on the Chevrolet Brookwood, was conceived to compete with the Ford Ranchero. Sales were not as expected, and in 1960 the El Camino was discontinued.1964 saw the return of the El Camino, this time based on the Chevrolet Chevelle. Two more generations followed which were based on the Chevelle until 1978 when GM revealed the smaller, fourth generation El Camino based on the Chevrolet Malibu. In 1987 production of the Camino was discontinued once again.Today, the El Camino has started yet another chapter with the unveiling of the Pontiac G8 Sport Truck (or simply the Pontiac G8 ST). Jalopnik got close to the new Pontiac G8 Sport Truck at a photo shoot of the pre-production model and dropped us a few shots of the new El Camino.

| 2010 Pontiac G8 sport truck | | 2008-04-21 15:53:00 | | The sport truck draws its strength from the same powerful 6.0L V-8 engine used in the G8 GT. It puts out 361 horsepower (270 kW) and 385 lb.-ft. (522 Nm) of torque. The combination of a six-speed automatic transmission and Active Fuel Management technology provides both car-like fuel economy and an unexpected 0-to-60 time of 5.4 seconds. While these performance numbers are respectable by sports car standards, the G8 sport truck offers flexibility unlike that of a sports car. A 73.9-inch (1878 mm) cargo bed has 42.7 cubic feet (1208 L) of cargo space and a durable composite bed liner. It also can carry a payload of more than 1,074 pounds (488 kg) and tow a 3,500-pound (1,600 kg) trailer. | | By: Auto linx | | |

The resurgent Performance Division will flex its muscles at the Javits Center. Joining the 2010 G8 sport truck (and maybe another newcomer sporting the Arrowhead badge) is the highly-anticipated Pontiac G8 GXP.The new Poncho flagship wears subtle visual tweaks including updated front and rear fascias plus the same 19" HSV wheels that were shown on the G8 concept. More importantly, the GXP packs GM's 6.2L LS3 V8 underhood. In this application (it's also in the Vette, where it makes even more power), the small-block punches out 402 horses and 400 lb-ft of torque rearward via a Tremec 6-speed manual gearbox or a HydraMatic 6L80 auto.

| Review: 2008 Pontiac G8 (updated) | | 2008-03-01 20:59:59 | | Review: 2008 Pontiac G8 (updated)
With General Motors putting future rear-wheel drive models on hold, the Pontiac G8 could be the only one of its kind from the General for a few years. But that said, the G8 is good enough that we probably wouldn't mind if it was the only rear-drive sedan GM offered. It's hard to really put the Pontiac G8 squarely into one segment. As far as dimensions go, it's about the same size as the BMW 5-series, but the G8 can't really be compared to the BMW since there is a vast difference in interior appointments, as well as price — about $30,000. With a base price of just over $27,000, the G8 is priced similarly to V6 Honda Accord and Toyota Camry models, but its rear-wheel-drive layout places it out of the typical mid-size sedan market. That price of entry also puts the base G8 about $5,000 more than a comparable Dodge Charger.

| New York Auto Show 2008: Production Pontiac ST pickup to appear | | 2008-02-11 06:17:00 | | Our friends over at Pickuptruck.com have learned that Pontiac will debut a production-ready ST pickup at this year's New York Auto Show in late March. The Pontiac ST pickup is based on the Holden VE Ute that recently debuted in Australia, and since development of the vehicle consists mainly of grafting the Pontiac G8 front clip onto the Holden VE Ute, the business case for the vehicle is a no-brainer. What did stand between the Pontiac ST pickup and production was the U.S. exchange rate between the Australian and U.S. dollar, but apparently the difference isn't as bad as once thought and the price of the ST won't be out of reach for its target market. Pickuptruck.com also learned that, despite previous reports to the contrary, the Pontiac ST will be offered with a 256-HP V6, as well as a 361-HP V8. The reason is because plans for a Pontiac G8 Sportwagon that would have been powered by a V6 have been cancelled, so the Pontiac needs to offer both a V6 and a V8 for the ST pickup to balanc | | By: Autoshows | | |

| GM recalls Cadillac, Pontiac, Saturn vehicles | | 2007-12-21 13:59:28 | |
The problem is the rear axle pinion seal, which is potentially defective and can leak. If it does, the fluid can leak out of the differential and the drive wheel can then lock due to the fluid loss. If this happens while the car is in motion, the driver could lose control. One such crash has been reported, and involved a collision with another vehicle. GM has acknowledged that these vehicles have been the subject of an abnormally high number of warranty claims due to the problem, as well. Recall notices will go out this coming February. Owners may contact Cadillac at (800) 982-2339, Pontiac at (800) 620-7668 and Saturn at (800) 972-8876. | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

| Thank you to Charity Cars for the 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix | | 2007-07-12 17:01:00 | | It was very generous and kind of you to donate a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix to myself and my family. I appreciate having a comfortable, safe and reliable car to drive to work, especially since I could begin driving it just as the winter chill really set in. Having this car also means I can now drive to visit elderly relatives who live some distance away. Thank you again.Ken | | By: The Original 1-800-CHARITY CARS | | |
