looks better from the back than the front.. but pretty fast for a 4 door. ran one with my LS430 and he got me by about 1.5 cars from 0 to 90

Nice man! I think R&T or Car and Driver got that thing to trap 109..the GXP that is.

Thats why you wait a year and buy a used one.

Wait.. Did you really just say that interior is more "luxurious"?

Can't imagine it being any worst..

Good buy though, not hating, just stating..

For a Pontiac it's actually pretty nice in there.

I dont see why you'd want something with an average of 15.5 MPG as a daily driver

I wouldn't buy anything American new, especially in this economic climate.

Please explain. I see leather, and volume controls on the steering wheel, but what else does it have

onstar, xm, heated seats, more room, nicer radio quality sound, sunroof....

the gto is nice, dont get me wrong.... but this car is more suited as a daily driver than an all out toy like a gto.

my round trip total for work is 6 miles... if i want to have some fun then i have the ability too. no offense to any of the honda's etc.... but they just dont cut it for me.

plus this thing has a lot of room in it... and im a big person.

Genesis has a longer warranty & (at least in my area) are extremely rare. :goodjob:

Why not? My GMC is by far the most reliable vehicle I've had. And to be honest my BMW was more reliable than my Acura...

Nice pickup though, I'm actually starting to like these, I just wouldn't buy one new.

very good reason..

usually a daily is something that is inexpensive and small. easy to get around and usually an automatic.

it looks great.. its probably the only thing i like coming from pontiac.
