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......
For you maybe, not everyone is looking for some type of driving experience. Some just want to go from point A to point B. There are plenty of people out there who can't understand why anyone would pay for a BMW considering the grossly high cost of the vehicle and maintenance on it once out of warranty. That is where buyers find a balance. Most families with little kids throwing french-fries around the back seat or soccer cleats banging on the drivers seat don't want to have to worry about the Nappa leather that was a $1800.00 option on their ride
