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. Pairing 6.2 liters of rowdy LS power with a Tremec
6-speed, crisp White Hot paint and a roster of comfort that
includes heated seats, it's also a fully documented classic that
celebrates a dynasty. Looking for a slick modern cruiser that's
both exclusive and fast? Here's your ticket to maximum car!
