i usually dont like american cars, but this one seems ok for 30k, but resale value prolly sucks. its prolly a GTO with a new shell.

Where can you get that, thats a pretty good deal.
Current offer shows $349/month with $3348 initial payment.
Even if you play with the numbers it still comes up a good 40/month or so higher, then what you posted.

I was all set to go test drive one to see how it compared to my GTO. Went to the dealer (who was actually really nice and fairly knowledgeable about the car. Surprising) I sat down in the one on the floor before I even asked to drive one. After about 3 minutes I got up and left. The interior alone made me not even want to find out how the thing drove.

Yeah, I don't feel bad about that interior in my G5 GT, but in the G8, well, it simply is way too shitty of an interior for a $30k sedan.

i love the irony of people complaining about plastic interiors on a message board dedicated to the king of plastic interior cars

I like the power of the G8, but i dislike that its an american car. I would buy an american car if they made them a little better. Look at alot of new fords for example, they still have those huge ass antennas sticking outta the fenders, wtf ? get with technology man, put the antenna in the rear glass, duh .

Everyone complains that the G8's interior is "plasticky"... what the hell does that mean? The interior of the G8 I've been driving for the past month isn't that bad. Its certainly not a work of art, but given the car's price & performance I don't see what the big deal is. Most cars under $100k have interiors that are made of plastic.

The G8 is Australian, not American.
Compared to the looks and interior quality of nearly all American cars its a cut above.
Some of you are never satisfied.

Do you have to pay a gas guzzler tax on the G8? If so, how much? I know you have to pay one on the Charger so I was wondering.

I know the interior of the G8 isnt that great, but compared to the Fbodys we all grew out of, Christ I wouldnt think to hear so much bashing about the G8 interior!
The car has awesome iterior room, huge trunk, awesome chasis dynamics @ 50% weight distribution, awesome brakes- and performs just as well as any other ls1/LS2 car..
09 has satellite so they are getting there in terms of what a 30K car should have.

No gas guzzler on the G8 - it's got Displacement-On-Demand.
