America's Top 40 New Cars
9. PONTIAC G8 GXP
WHY IT'S ON OUR HIT PARADE: Simply put: It's the best Pontiac performance sedan in history. The Australian-developed G8 GXP offers impressive performance, handling, and refinement at a bargain basement price. The 6.2-liter LS3 small-block under the hood makes all the classic Motown muscle noises, but the tied-down chassis ducks and dives through the turns like a BMW.
COOL FACT: The G8 GXP is the most powerful Pontiac ever, eclipsing even the legendary 405-horsepower, 421 Super Duty cars of the early '60s.
SUM UP: The M5 for the working man.
