Pontiac G8 GXP review featuring the 2009 model year. The Pontiac G8 has ties to the Holden Commodore in Australia and the G8 GXP is one of those epic forgotten cars, but we will see what makes it great in this review. See my Cadillac CTS-V Review here: • 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Co...
Many of you asked me to review the Chevy SS but I personally loved the body style of the Pontiac G8 the most. The GXP trim is the top trim with the LS3 6.2l V8 from the Corvette. If you are an owner of the Pontiac G8 GXP, let me know in the comments how it held up for you.

@thehyperspacevault 3 года назад

This GXP has an aftermarket exhaust and an aftermarket intake. The stock exhaust system doesn't drone. The LS3 is probably been tuned too, if that is the case it's putting out at least 450hp. There is nothing wrong with GM quality, the car has 12 years of wear and tear on it. This design dates back to 2007. Compare the interior to other cars from 2007, and the G8 interior is hands down better quality than 95% of the vehicles from that era. The only bad thing about the G8 is the high end Blaupunkt stereo system is crap.

GM is focused on revenue producing CUVs, and at the time of this car's heyday, fuel economy in the sedans. That left little for a niche market in terms of funding to market their vehicles.

It was the most performance I could get for the least amount of money. 8 grand got me a G8 with that suspension, good weight balance, great brakes, and a... decent motor. And it looks great, it turns heads, and even only having a V6 I know I have more power and performance than 90% of the other cars on the road. You know. The malibus and focuses and all those crossovers and such.

@VidTubeWatch 2 года назад

At about 1:41 where the plastic panel for the forward/back switch is hanging there was a recall for this part. Many chose to zip tie it back into place, and no one was the wiser. I own an '09 GT which I recently purchased and love. The original owner chose the zip tie repair, but he also included the replacement part from the recall which I still have sealed in plastic and in the trunk. I guess when and if the zip tie breaks, then I'll replace it with the improved part. These are great cars.

@haiUnderground 3 года назад

They sold 41,000 units in 2008-2010. The sport mode is just moving the shifter to manual mode without up/down shifting. The G8 is actually a full size sedan, not mid size. It statistically has more space front and back than the interiors of the newest Dodge Chargers. BMW similar design was due to engineers with a BMW background. Aside from those things, I enjoyed the video. Many are indeed beat up, that's why I get a lot of compliments when people see mine. Maybe 2 or 3 compliments whenever I do actually drive it.

Good review. I don't believe GM actually who this car was for. This was on many examples of cars were many enthusiast wanted them but when the manufacture provided it no one actually brought it. This was a rebadged Holden Commodore that arrived on our shores and failed. Auto manufactures have realized the error of trying to carter to a market that is all talk but don't actually buy. I believe we will continue to see less cars like this. Kind of sucks but I understand that tame SUV's and family sedans are what people buy.

@MeynMotorGroup 3 года назад

Exactly my friend that is precisely whats going on and in this ev regulation world we are headed, cars like this will be extinct in no time. But its crazy how long dodge has been able to last with their crazy cars but thats mostly because they actually sell! I can't believe dodge sells so many Challengers and Chargers. Their marketing is great but also they have great lease programs and the redesign for those cars happened in 2015 when the economy was actually good. Unfortunately stuff like the Pontiac and V10 BMWs existed in the middle of a recession as well which I'm sure didn't help

@marchudson880 3 года назад

And the reason GM didn’t care to put a manual transmission on the new C8. Nobody buys them anymore. Ask six people you know and I bet 4 can’t drive stick.

@wigletron2846 2 года назад

It's because enthusiasts tend to be younger and can't afford brand new cars. The people who can afford an enthusiast vehicle brand new usually have families. Not to mention GM never really marketed the G8 or the SS at all. The G8 came out during the $4+ gas prices of 2008. The SS was only brought here to meet an obligation to Holden before GM axed the company.

I own a GT version, going to be swapping in an LS3 crate engine due to a lifter fucking up my L76. For those who are in the market for a G8, they are absolutely awesome cars. However, if you go for a GT just beware of lifter failure. I didn't even have the DoD and it still failed, from the factory the DoD will destroy your engine at any given moment, save up some money to get that deleted and put some Johnson lifters in it and you'll have a nice reliable car 🤙🏼

Don't bother with the cost of an LS3. Swap in a Brian Tooley Racing DOD delete kit with the Stage 1 cam. After the tune, I ended up with over 400 hp at rear wheels (more than an LS3) with stock exhaust and intake. My G8 screams now.

The G8 looks better than the SS, imo

A lot of people here in Australia are buying Pontiac G8 bumpers and Badges for there Holden Commodores

Now that’s funny!

@alpharaptor7510 3 года назад

@@pmscalisi yeah it is I saw a Holden with G8 front end yesterday

@wbwayne8887 3 года назад

That would be an incredible collector's car. However I am not sure I wouldn't rather have a newer, but very similar Chevrolet SS with 6spd manual and Magnetic dampers.

@MeynMotorGroup 3 года назад

Agreed! And yea really want to try a Chevy SS

@wbwayne8887 3 года назад

@@MeynMotorGroup You should, and then you can compare the 2 drives. I would be interested in hearing which one you liked more.

@MeynMotorGroup 3 года назад

Yes that would be ideal! But yea I think the SS will be even more of a clean driving experience albeit more money to buy tho since it's newer

@wbwayne8887 3 года назад

@@MeynMotorGroup Would it truly be more though. I figured values would have gone up quite a bit on the G8 GXP by now. Such a rare vehicle from a GM division that isn't around anymore.

@MeynMotorGroup 3 года назад

Yea I think perhaps parts prices might be higher or just non existent in general because Pontiac is no longer in business but idk I feel like that applies for many cars that have gone up in value lol
