The Pontiac G8 GT is the most powerful car under 30 grand. Actually, the Pontiac G8 GT was the most powerful car under 30 grand. Following one of the most popular trends in the auto industry, Pontiac will be raising the price of the 2009 G8 across the board.
For 2009, the G8 GT will see a price hike of $1,365, bringing the total cost of entry to $31,360. While the 2009 model does add XM radio – something we dearly missed in our time with the G8 – the majority of the price increased is being blamed on an unfavorable exchange rate.
The V6 powered G8 will see a more moderate price increase – of just $400 – bringing its sticker price to $27,995.
Despite the price increase, the G8 GT is still a fine choice at this price point so we don’t expect to see a drastic reduction in sales. However, General Motors might be planning a fire sale on all its advertising with the tag line “The most powerful car under 30 grand.â€
