This is the second year for the Pontiac G8 sedan. The G8 returns as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle with a five-speed transmission. Joining the V-6- and V-8-powered GT for 2009 is the new GXP. The GXP features a big, torquey 6.2-liter V-8 engine, as does the GT, but has a more extreme, sport-tuned package with a sport suspension, limited-slip differential, and added standard equipment.
