ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! This is not just a joke, but an EPIC FAIL! on the part of the reviewer/writer. No one would honestly compare even a base G8 to a Kia Amanti. Someone show this guy the light!

Maybe he should've gotten a $32K G8 to compare with the $32K Kia? Just a thought.
Of course that would've been the Biggest. Asswhoopin'. Ever.
Oh... the G8 has OUTSTANDING seats. Dude is clueless.

And that is why I don't read the AJC...awful paper all around.
Can't believe they even tried to match these two up. Morons!!

Seriously, I could not have named the Kia model if I'd had to. I'd assumed that it was no longer being made. That is, without a doubt, the ugliest thing on the road...and they say it beat the G8. How original! Anybody but GM, Ford, or Chysler...
Which is the same reason I don't subscribe to "Motor Trend" anymore. If they all get their wishes and GM, etc go out of business, what will they have to complain about? Or perhaps they'll have to get real jobs?

For our next trick, we will compare the Corvette to a bowl of oranges.
Winner: Oranges, because they're orange. The Corvette was nice, but it wasn't an orange.

Which brings me to my next point, kids; don't smoke crack.

Design
These vehicles are purposed somewhat differently, with the G8 being more about performance and the Amanti more targeted to luxury customers. But the G8 hits its mark a little better. It’s got sporty style. The Amanti is nice looking but with a little less flair. A colleague described it as sort of “eastern European” looking, perhaps reminiscent of the Soviet bloc. The interiors on both were OK but nothing spectacular.
Gotta agree with everyone -- this is the worst comparison ever! The G8 hits the mark a LITTLE better?!? Soviet bloc is the nicest thing that can be said about this rolling piece of U-G-L-Y!! Kinda like back in the day when the customizers stuck a Mercerdes-style grille and fake convertible top on any old car to make it "classy"!?!
Price
Even though they are purposed differently, both cars could still be considered by similar customers — those wanting a moderately priced family car. The G8’s sticker price was $27,995, while the Amanti went for $31,695. It had more options, though. So let’s knock off all the options on the Amanti except for stability control, to match it more closely to the G8. If you do that, the Amanti then goes for $25,995.
Yeah, I wanna pay $3,500 MORE and put that ugly thing in my driveway instead of that HOT Pontiac!!

I thought it was a very fair and informative review. I happened to be interested in the G8, but now I really want a Kia.

What complete and utter drivel. That was easily the most risible comparison "test" I have read in a long, long time.

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
And like someone else already mentioned, I SERIOUSLY thought they stopped making that car. It looks stupid, and I want to say it's based on the old Sonata? I don't even care really......it does however look like a 5 year old car (at least), but with the new car price. :::2 thumbs down:::
