Pontiac G8 Day

A Liquid Red 2008 Pontiac G8 GT arrived at the Cars.com offices today, and I’m the lucky reviewer who gets to take it home for the weekend. I’ll be posting a review sometime after its week with us.

The mere presence of the 361-hp, V-8-powered sedan should be enough to merit it unofficially Pontiac G8 Day, but there’s more: Pontiac released a very cool new commercial for the G8 that takes a spin at the classic arcade game “Spy Hunter.” We’ve embedded the video below. The company also launched a new website around the G8 called www.g8iscar.com. Bad grammar aside, the interactive mosaic is pretty neat.

Oh, and one other teensy, tiny thing: There will be some major news hitting this blog come midnight EST tonight, which may or may not revolve around the said G8 platform. Don’t forget to come back for it.
