DETROIT - Pontiac today confirmed pricing for its new rear-wheel drive G8 performance sedan will start at $27,595 when it hits the streets in early 2008. The V-8 powered G8 GT will be available for $29,995. Both prices include a $695 destination and freight charge.

“The G8 represents the next phase in Pontiac’s commitment to bring

seductively designed, high-performance vehicles to the showroom floor,” said Craig Bierley, Pontiac marketing

director. “Our dealers and customers have been anxiously waiting for this vehicle since we first showed it at the Chicago Auto Show in February,

so we’re really excited to get this

car on the  street early next year.”

 

 

 

The G8 is powered by a 3.6-liter VVT V-6 engine and five-speed

automatic transmission and comes equipped with a number of

standard convenience and safety features, including StabiliTrak

electronic stability control, six airbags and OnStar. The G8 GT

ups the ante with a 6.0-liter V-8 mated to a six-speed

automatic transmission and additional standard equipment.
