I initially thought I might have been comparing apples to apples when I first saw the G8 body and equipment package. I actually hoped I would be. I don't always buy the $50K vs. $30k argument when it comes to design. The interior of the G8 - regardless of the price - was dated and not appealing for a driver who is interested and cares about their surroundings while motoring. That is too bad - price should not always dictate design and I think Pontiac designers and engineers could have put more effort into the product. If an auto company can't even get a potential customer to sit in the car, how will they get them to buy one?! IMO......
