Under powered and gets worse gas mileage. What am I missing here? Other than the G8 has an extra set of doors. |
We only had 245HP with a 3.8 V6, from the factory.
And while the numbers aren't there, it's 500+ pounds lighter as well.

I think in all reality cars and manufacturers are just blurring into each other anyway. I've seen new Chevy blocks stamped 'Hecho en Mexico' and I've gotten factory Nissan brakes stamped 'Made in USA.' I feel the term 'domestic' is more about branding than actual products.
