Pontiac G8 GXP Review...The Forgotten V8 Super Sedan

[@Getbent0015]

Nice review! I've owned 3 G8s and some things you mentioned like broken driver's seat trim and key FOB falling apart are very common. Still have an M6 Pacific Slate GXP with 6000 miles sitting in the garage.

[@myKurisma]

would you sell it is the question? haha

[@bobw3235]

I just bought two key FOB cases from China for my 2008 GT, 10 bucks ea. Simple fix, sorry I waited this long to do it lol

[@pmscalisi]

I’ve replaced my drivers seat trim three times on my 2008 and the last one I installed broke again. I just gave up and used cable ties to fix it. It’s been a few years and it’s still working.

[@hixnada8278]

Glad to see the GXP getting some love! I almost bought a GXP 6 speed manual but never did. The SS is the next generation G8 GXP.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

For sure my friend, loved the old G8s. Did you end up going with the SS manual? Chevy SS is another car I would like to check out

[@hixnada8278]

@@MeynMotorGroup yes - I bought a 2017 SS sedan with a manual trans after they announced they would be discontinued. It is completely stock aside from the skip-shift delete I put on. Currently has 7600 miles and the screen protector is still on the Nav screen. Considering selling for something else, but once it’s gone, I’d never be able to get another.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Wow absolutely stunning great job getting that ride. Yea if you sell that gem it will be near impossible to get another one especially in the excellent condition you have. But up to you tho you would probably get a lot of money for it you did sell. Maybe you could keep it and lease a nice car? But whatever you do at least you got to experience that amazing car.

This car would've succeeded, it was just the bad timing in the market that did it in, in my opinion. I'd need a garage to house one of these if I were ever able to get my hands on one.

[@texan903]

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.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea came out in a recession sad stuff Hellcat and hype got released in 2015 when the economy was booming

[@Xaevryn]

I drive a base model G8 in the same color and I love it. 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.

[@regriefing1807]

exactly i love all G8s the base model and the GT and the GXP they are extremely slept on cars.

[@pmscalisi]

I have a base and really like it . Bought it new in early 2009 from a Pontiac dealer that was closing and got a really huge discount. They weren’t discounting the couple of GT and the GXP they had (of course) so couldn’t really afford them.

[@thehyperspacevault]

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.

[@thinkinginpictures4071]

I had an 04' GTO M6 for five years. I test drove the G8 GT when it came out right before they axed Pontiac. I should have bought one, I knew they'd become a classic. It was the GTO PERFECTED. Even the back seat was a pleasant place to be. Don't get me wrong, no luxury here but purpose built and functional. No overdone plastic body cladding like the Camaro. Just a sleeper with sick amounts of power underneath. Even the steering response was amazing..no dead spot in the middle like the GTO. It even cornered well. GM really did go all out on this car making sure it kept it's Aussie DNA unlike the rushed to market GTO. If you have one, consider yourself lucky. More rare to see one than most Porsches.

[@pbjracing14yearsago49]

I agree, it looks great! Understated and brawny design

[@VidTubeWatch]

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]

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.

[@CarswithNash]

Very cool no doubt! I I agree with your take on GM quality LOL! And honestly yes Pontiac made some awesome cars, but they also made some awful cars... I had a ‘97 Sunfire and it was one of the worst cars I have ever owned! As much as the Internet loves to bash on Chrysler quality the reason why a car like a Charger will be more popular is that Chrysler has consistently made better cars than GM in the last 25 years... My first car was a Chevy and I grew up loving GM’s to a point of obsession, but when I started working on cars professionally I couldn’t help but notice 75% of the broken vehicles were of the GM variety... this was in an area where at the time domestic vehicles made up 95% of the vehicles on the road... and yes GM is a huge brand and at the time they probably were selling more vehicles than Ford or Chrysler, but working on the three brands side by side, day to day, I really developed a bias towards the Chrysler vehicles and somewhat of a hatred towards the GM vehicles. A lot of people that work on cars professionally actually do prefer the GM brand, but I believe that is only because they grow so used to working on them LOL! One thing about GM is that there are always plenty of them in the wrecking yards, so if you are really dedicated to keeping one on the road you can always do so pretty cheaply.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea I actually do agree that in many cases Chrysler interiors have actually held up better than Chevy interiors!

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 🤙🏼

My lifter was knocking after 40000. I started using top engine cleaner before oil changes. Knocking went away. Still own it at 117000 miles. No knocking yet 😊

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.

[@AgentFitz]

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]

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]

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]

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.

What does it weigh? Imagine that drivetrain dropped in a 2900 lb nova or vega

Looks like a BMW when BMW's did not look like ass. Awesome platform and good suspension. Muscle car engine and feel. Lots or room inside. Has Australian V8 super car heritage. Engine that has maybe the greatest aftermarket support of any engine every. Motor that is easy to work on. Other than a spartan looking interior, I don't see any downsides to this car.
