Umm..no. It would look like an ugly, awkward angled, riced up Honda Accord.
How can you honestly call this "boring"??:

2: Blurs the line between full size and mid size too well for it's own good. The G8 offers the room of a full size car in a vehicle which looks and feels like a mid-size sedan. The problem with that? Costs are more akin to what people expect from a full size domestic offering and that isn't good. If you are going to ask full-size money you had better bring some full size cachet.

The car sure as hell doesn't look small. The Malibu is midsize. The G8 is fullsize, and it looks the part. I don't know what G8 you've been looking at.

3: That arrowhead on the grille isn't doing the car any favors.
4: The name G8 means absolutely nothing to anybody. Maxima, Charger, 300 all those names bring something extra to the table...... say G8 and the screen goes blank. For all the damage Ford has done to the moniker even Taurus is far and away a better choice. (thought Galaxie would have been a much better choice)Seriously, this may be the worst naming scheme in the automotive world right now

Maxima?? I hope you're kidding. The Maxima name is about as valuable as the the Pinto name, both are a joke in terms of performance and reliability.
I don't see anything wrong with G8. I like real car names better than letter/number combos, but it works for BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Infiniti, and Cadillac, so it can't be all that bad.
