Pontiac G8 better than a BMW 550i?

So what you think? From what I read, the G8 is the best car Pontiac NEVER made, because Holden made it.

But is it better than the well-established 5-Series???



Hmmm... I still want the Bimmer. What about you?

Sorry if this is a repost, btw.

Re: Pontiac G8 better than a BMW 550i?

It's funny the author of the video mentions "America vs Germany" when the G8 is actually the very Australian Holden Commodore. So it should be "Australia vs Germany" and I'm sorry, I love Australia; they have some of the most beautiful women in the world, but given this choice of cars, I'd go for the German alternative.

Except that on the way to the BMW dealer, I'd veer off to a Jaguar dealer and get myself the new XF.

Re: Pontiac G8 better than a BMW 550i?

Does faster 0-60 mean better ?

Then I suppose the G8 is also better then a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Not Pontiac. Any merit goes to Holden.

Is Holden an Australian auto company who is owned by GM?
