Hurst Performance Announces High Output Version of Pontiac G8
Jun 29, 2009 - 1:38 PM - by Administrator

Hurst Performance Vehicles is looking to send the Pontiac brand out with a bang as it prepares to launch a high output version of the G8 sedan. In collaboration with automotive legend "Doc" Watson, Hurst will build 52 G8 models models complete with superchargers, suspension modifications, custom interior, wheels, a Hurst shifter and, of course, the company's iconic white/gold and black/gold colors.

The Hurst/Pontiac G8 H.O. will be a modern day version of George Hurst's "Executive Hot Rod."

Along with those G8 models, Hurst will also build 10 G6 Convertibles.

"Doc started all of this with George back in 1960 with Hurst Performance Research. His Hurst H.O. Pontiacs have stormed drag strips and main streets across the country for 50 years," said Hurst Chairman, Nate Shelton.... [Read More]

Pontiac To Offer the Vibe (and Nothing Else) in 2010

The 2010 model lineup for the soon-to-be-terminated Pontiac brand will consist of just one model - the Vibe.

Recently GM interim CEO Fritz Henderson reiterated the company's position that the G8 would not carry on as either a Buick, Chevy or Cadillac. The G3 and G5 will also cease production this year, while the G6 will only be made available to government, corporate and rental car fleets.

There has been no word lately on the Solstice model. GM had made it known that it would consider offers for the Solstice (as well as the Saturn Sky and Opel GT) as a separate entity, but with the sale of Saturn to Penske, that now seems unlikely.

There's Still Hope for the Pontiac G8
Jun 09, 2009 - 9:28 AM - by Administrator

There is hope, be it ever so slight, that the Pontiac G8 may live on even though the brand it's attached to is most certainly slated for elimination.

"I know there's still discussions on it," GM's product boss Tom Stephens told Automotive News, giving some hope to the legions of G8 fans that haven't had anything to get excited about since the fourth generation Firebird came out in 1993.

Stephens did add, however, that as Chevrolet already has several sedans, another one wasn't really necessary.

The G8 could work as a high-performance SS version of the Impala, or even as the basis of a Buick vehicle - although that seems highly unlikely. And unfortunately for G8 fans, GM already has an excellent rear wheel drive platform that underpins the Cadillac CTS.

Still,... [Read More]
