For Sale: 2009 Pontiac G8 in Charlotte, North Carolina for sale in Charlotte, NC
Vehicle Description If you're well-versed in General Motors history, you know what the Pontiac brand was to become.
The Solstice was a stylistic hit, the G8 was being favorably reviewed, and the brand's corporate partner Holden was hard at work on a family of vehicles based on GM's new Global Rear Wheel Drive platform.
The first of those offerings, debuted as the Pontiac G8 ST, was well on its way to market.
The second, a potential sixth-generation GTO, was being previewed by the Holden Coupe 60 concept.
And the GXP line, Pontiac's ultimate expression of 21st century performance, was carving out a nice niche with hardcore enthusiasts.
Enter The Great Recession It was no secret that The General had been just 'getting by' for several years and, as the economy started to collapse, the company could no longer secure funding for future product development.
First came the cancellation of non-essential products, including the aforementioned G8 ST and, at one point, even the mighty Corvette.
Then the whole Global Rear Wheel Drive platform was canned, making the Camaro and G8 orphan cars.
And ultimately, GM decided it was better to proceed without the entire Pontiac division.
For today's car lovers, the result is two-fold:
1) Dodge took a page or two from Pontiac's playbook and rebirthed itself as a wildly successful performance brand, and 2) the enthusiast market benefits from cars like this awesome G8 GXP that are not only extremely capable but also exceptionally exclusive.
A one-owner time capsule that still wears its original tires, this 6,899-mile G8 GXP is precisely the 'ultimate Pontiac' any serious enthusiast would option in the final year of GM's excitement division.
