  • The Pontiac G8 would probably be the fastest in a straightline, especially the GXP model. I believe the 2nd fastest in a straightline, as well as the fastest all around would be the Infiniti G37, which would be my top choice. In my opinion it has the best balance of... Read More

Why should I also consider these?

The G8’s chief rival is the Dodge Charger, which has more aggressive styling but is a little less refined.

The Charger and the similar but more glamorous Chrysler 300 offer optional all-wheel drive, whereas the G8 does not.

However, the Charger doesn’t have the thoroughly in-check body control and poise around corners to match the G8.

The front-wheel-drive Ford Taurus (with an all-wheel-drive option) is just as large as its competitors, but it’s more clearly geared to an older, more conservative crowd.

Then there’s the Nissan Maxima, which trumps the G8 for style but, because it’s front-wheel drive and only offers a V-6, can’t touch the G8’s level of performance.

The 2008 Dodge Charger sedan has plenty of practicality and character--and thirst, with the big HEMI engines.
 
2008 Ford Taurus
A great choice for older drivers, the 2008 Ford Taurus excels on its size, safety gear, and large instrumentation, but falls behind the Honda Accord in driving excitement.
 
2008 Nissan Maxima
The 2008 Nissan Maxima is a bit more aesthetically appealing than a top-of-the-line Altima or Accord, but it doesn’t perform any better.
