Look at those lateral g numbers! Very nice considering it's tuned to the soft side.

Pedders will have it over 1g in no time

I am amazed how much the reviews differ.

I'll try and add links later but one review said that there's plenty of room for 4 adults while another said there's no room in the back.
Jalopnik said that the handling sucked while several of the others loved it.
C&D said it was too quiet while autoline said it was too loud.
autoline hated the steering wheel but automobile mag liked it.
automobile was slower in the auto in 0-60 but the rest were faster in the auto

Jalopnik's review was overall negative while the rest are almost all positive.

The biggest gripe overall: too much hard plastic.

Didn't I tell you about the cheap interior?

The drifting on the edmunds track test video is friggin SWEET!

Mr Twisty · 03-20-2009, 07:05 PM

After reading all reviews, I'm beginning to wonder if a couple of the reviewers even drove the car.

One stated the v6 starts pulling hard at 3500 revs when others say it pulls hard off idle.

One stated the car pushes, when others say it points and shoots.

Going through the reviews, throwing out the extremes, this looks like it's a hell of a car, once you ignore the bias in a couple of the reviews.

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but I'm wondering... do reviewers get actual production versions of the car? Or are they pre's? Just curious, thanks.

N8dawg · 03-20-2009, 07:47 PM

I can't believe that the G8 GXP is faster..........

One said the V8 boomed, another said it didn't... Just like stripes, colors, engines and trannys; everyone has their own opinion of what is good and bad.
