New car...
 
Thinking about buying a new car... the whole deal with a warranty and whatnot... what I've been looking at...

Ford Fusion sport...

Pontiac G8 GT...

I figure, I could find an 08 G8... but the sport model of the fusion I think is a 2010

Any recomendations?

SupermanX24 04-11-2009 02:49 PM

two different animals, chris. Personally I can't stand driving a FWD car. It's all on you. But if I had to choose personally, def. the G8

NJ Torque 04-11-2009 02:50 PM

The sport is an AWD optioned car...

69BirdX 04-11-2009 02:54 PM

the fusion does look awsome but ima g8 fan. I want to buy a solstice coupe.

g8
you can get it for cheap
you'll have more fun with it
it looks better
you can get 30-50 whp from tune and intake
easy 12 second car with full exhaust/tune/intake (~<2k)

Fast92RS 04-11-2009 03:06 PM

Go with the G8

I'm not looking for a race car at all... have too many already, otherwise this would have been C6 vette or C5Z.

Just got to look close up at G8.....Awesome!

FIcamaroRE92 04-11-2009 03:26 PM

Go g8

NastyEllEssWon 04-11-2009 04:04 PM

get the fusion. its gonna be a lot more civil and all around than the g8

miketa95 04-11-2009 04:09 PM

everyone and their mother has a fusion. Get a G8, I rarely see any of them around.

thunder 04-11-2009 04:10 PM

ive driven a fusion and its pretty good and better on gas but the G8 is just on another level handling wise even tho its bigger

Featherburner 04-11-2009 07:12 PM

G8 GT!

Crayface 04-11-2009 07:59 PM

clearly you should go with the G8.....

A ford?? pshhhhhhh

NJ346 04-11-2009 08:06 PM

If your the kind of person that likes to get compliments about the car they drive, go with a G8. You should of seen the amount of people that were drooling over John's G8 at Atco on Tuesday night..

Now I know never to take your opinon as serious.

Fusion is a meh car. The revision for 2010 is better, lots of options, but still a meh car. If I wanted an American midsizer, get the Malibu. Worlds better looking.
IF you were to look at a Ford comperable to the G8, look at the new Taurus. VERY good looking car, and quality is very high. Look at the pics I took from NYIAS, I have a few of teh SHO in there.

NastyEllEssWon 04-11-2009 09:34 PM

malibu isnt awd and im sure thats the drawing point for him to look at the fusion.






this is like comparing apples to oranges. if your looking for a 4 door mid-full size car then horsepower should need not apply. the g8 is probably an awesome car. its too and bulky in my opinion and in need of a major facelift.



on a side note. if they renamed the g8 the lumina ss and did the chevy fascias then i could see it drawing crowds that thing is niiiice!

I like the Pontiac nose better. That just looks like a badge job.
The dual-port Pontiac grill looks better on the Commodore then any other facia, IMO.

NJ Torque 04-11-2009 11:32 PM

I am looking for a 4 door car... but with some pep.

The AWD on the fusion is a selling point.

I'm pretty sure, if they made the SPORT in a 5 speed, it would be in the driveway right now.

Even on the ford forums I'm on, they are all saying G8 too.

BigAls87Z28 04-11-2009 11:35 PM

Sporty 4 doors in teh 20-30k price range
Mazda 6
G8 V6 or GT
Cobalt SS
WRX
Lancer Ralliart

NastyEllEssWon 04-12-2009 01:48 AM

saab has some really nice awd models available at good prices. i would check those out
