The G8 must be a true piece of shit. (RIP)
All I read on G8 forums is what creaky, sloppy, noisy, problem infested hunks of crap the G8's are.
I hope I don't put the hex on my current G8 GT, but I have never had one single issue of ANY kind with either the '08 (11K) or the '09 (5K).
Not one tiny little trip to any dealer, ever. Never had to repair anything myself either.
So, before the firestorm of rightious indignation from the multitude that have massive problems with this car, I will make the only comment that any sane person could make after reading post after post about true and actual problems that owners have experienced ad infinitum. I am NOT questioning the existence of these problems. Many of them quite serious.
" The Pontiac G8 should never have been brought to market in the first place and we are all fortunate that this devilish beast has been put to rest forever."
I can only guess that Holden LTD. saved every defective, lemon infested Commodore ever made in a lot in the desert and saw a chance to dump them all by putting a different hood and some Pontiac badging on and cramming them all into big boats to America. Those that have had problems will assuredly jump me with nasty posts. Once again, I do not question the existece of your problems. I weep for you, as we all had such high hopes for this car, only to have them dashed on the rocks of shitty-ness.
Please understand, I am not doubting the veracity of these complaints, nor the reality of the problems.
Just tired of reading this stuff. No doubt one day I will get what's coming to me when I start having the same problems.
So, in conclusion, I repeat the opening statement: "The G8 must be a true piece of shit."
Now, I have met and gotten to really like many folks on the forum, and I know that they will read this post all the way through before exploding in rightious indignation. As to the few that don't or can't, I don't like you anyway.
So,I quietly put down my mouse, back away from the computer, and wish you all the best in resolving this mess in whatever way works best for each individual.

That I think says it all. For all the issues those of us had with our cars, how many still enjoy them? I'm betting a few hands will show. Most G8 owners I would guess are pretty picky and budget-minded. A tough crowd to please indeed. I for one am glad the G8 made its way over to the states and I'm quite proud to own one. I can only hope my second engine lives to see past 12,000 miles.
