Don't miss this FUN TO DRIVE CARSource: Edmunds...Love the looks, outside and in; the ride is sporty and fun and fast. I wish I would have spent the extra grand on the GT but, oh well. I bought brand new and have put 42K miles on since 4/09. Around town driving you get about 18 mpg and freeway about 24. Of course, I have a lead foot and enjoy going fast in my red baby so if you drive the speed limit, you'll get better. Nice thigh/knee support for picky drivers. I would definately buy this car again... |

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.
