Despite all the hype surrounding Ford's new twin-turbo, all-wheel drive sport sedan, our long-term Pontiac G8 GT would put it on the trailer. The Pancho is quicker, it handles better and it has better brakes. Oh, and it's much, much, much, much cheaper. In fact, for the price of the SHO you could step up to a G8 GXP. And then it's really no contest, the SHO's doors would be officially blown off.

I love my G8

i like the g8 too bad its no longer in production.

I didn't think that match up would ever be close. To bad the g8 wont be around longer

[Gorky_Park]

I say one on CL for $22K that was 6 months old...can't believe I still drive a Cam

I'd probably take my 6 in for one in a heartbeat. Pretty much in the same situation, low production vehicle.

I wonder how warranties stand up for that thing?

the warrenties will be honored by GM

[GingersRPeople2]

i like the g8 way better anyways, its definitely the better looking of the two!

Two very different approaches to american muscle sedans. One a driver's car (G 8 GT) the other a luxury sport sedan (SHO.)
Both offer a lot of performance for their dollar that the foreign competitors can't match. I think both are sure fire winners. I'd go with the G8 GXP over the SHO personally, but I can't discount the versatility, and overall class of the new more modern SHO. I can't wait to see some head up comparisons between the two.

Seriously who wouldnt take the G8?

Maybe Ford should put that powerplant into something that isnt ugly as hell.

They claim that the entire lineup will have EcoBoost engines as options..I believe they are working on a 4 banger version for the Focus and such; the Mustang and F150 will be getting it in a year or two as well from what I hear.

I would take this over a taurus any day.

Black G8=sex.

$45,000 for 300hp of uglyness that handles like crap..And runs a high 14..No thanks I can think of alot better cars foreign or not that are cheaper,faster,look better and handle better.

White for me.

Current car is my first and last black car i'll ever own. Funny how I wanted white in the first place, settled for black after they stopped making white versions in '07, and wished i had it ever since.

I'm still debating dropping 4k or so to repaint it exactly white like the 06 models.

White G8 would be sweeeet.
