G8, who cares if its a G1million. Ive never been in a pontiac and thought "wow, this is a quality product" im not even exagerating. every single pontiac i have been in has been a POS, regardless of weather it was powered by a V8 or not.
perfect example of why the american car industry is in the shape its in. |

I think that maybe I didn't get my point across. The G6 is terrible. I was also trying to convey that the 528i, while a much better car, lacked the "wow" that makes the 1er such a great car.

I always get a bit bored with my cars after a while, I find that all I need to do to rekindle the spark is to abstain from driving it for a while. After all they say "absence make the heart grow fonder".
I haven't got to the boredom stage yet with my 135 though as I have been just too busy to drive it much since getting it.

The GT comes with a 361 hp (269 kW)[10] 6.0 L Generation IV V8, featuring a 6-speed 6L80 automatic and Active Fuel Management, capable of reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) in just over 5 seconds, with quarter-mile times as low as 13.5 seconds. A 6-speed manual was formerly being considered as an option on the GT model, but Pontiac dropped the option, stating that it would instead be offered as an option on the G8 GXP. In addition to the larger engine and 6-speed transmission, GT models also contain additional equipment, including all of the standard Sedan features plus quad tailpipes, clear taillight lenses (as opposed to the Sedan's traditional red taillights), automatic climate control, a larger center-console display screen, and an 11-speaker Blaupunkt premium audio system with 2 subwoofers, six-disc CD changer, and auxiliary input jack. Some (but not all) of these features are available as options on the base model. A sports package is available on the GT, adding sport metallic pedals, QS4 19" machine-faced aluminum wheels, summer performance tires and a slightly smaller diameter, leather-wrapped Sport steering wheel. G8 GT 2009 Pontiac G8 GT G8 GXP A G8 GXP version was shown at the New York International Auto Show in March 2008 with a 6.2-liter, 402 hp (300 kW) V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette and a 6-speed manual transmission. The production version of the GXP has since proven to be more powerful, with its LS3 V8 producing 415 hp (309 kW) and 415 ft-lbs. of torque. Both the six-speed Tremec TR-6060 manual transmission and the six-speed automatic transmission are available. The GXP's performance is substantial, reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) from a standstill in 4.5 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 13.0 seconds at nearly 110 mph The GXP utilizes the upgraded, Nurburgring-tuned FE3 suspension package as well as larger, ventilated Brembo disc brakes. It also features a unique front bumper cover and rear diffuser to differentiate it from the standard Sedan and GT models. 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP |

Just a quick update. I had the 528i overnight and I had to take it on a bit of a trip this morning. Compared to the 1 it was just uninspiring.
I am glad to have my car back tonight!
