Re: Daily News criticing Pontiac G8

I thought he was overly negative. Usually people compare cars to what the cars target audience would be looking for. It is heavy because it is a large car and really isn't much if any heavier than the competition. Compare the interior dimensions to some other cars including trunk space and see what it compares to. I certainly wouldn't try to fire the guy however. I think many people looking for a sport sedan really aren't looking for such a large car, it would be perfect if they had a smaller RWD car to sell along side of it. They also need to get the wagon and the 2.9L diesel in both of them asap. I'd love a diesel wagon. The rear seat is plenty wide enough for 3 kids in car seats and with a small diesel it would be fairly fuel efficient. The wagon would offer great cargo capability as well. Who needs a CUV?
