eneral Motors will price the new Pontiac G8 sedan starting at $27,595 when it arrives in dealerships early next year. Prices for the V-8- powered G8 GT will start at $29,995, GM says.
The G8 will have a base 256-hp, 3.6-liter variable valve-timed V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. It will have driver shift control and sport mode availability. Standard features will include StabiliTrak electronic stability control, six airbags and OnStar.
