The Volvo C30 is a very interesting new 2 door hatchback that was introduced on the US market in 2007. The C30 is the smallest Volvo available to date. It features the maker’s signature design elements in a concentrated shape. If you like Volvo’s curvy body style and over sized rear taillights you will love this car. >> read
In the dim and distant past of Pontiac, they produced a model named the Pontiac 6000. So, why not just throw in the towel and name the new “ute” based Pontiac G8 “sport truck” the “10,000?” That would save Pontiac the trouble of sifting through the 10,000 names that have been submitted to it as proposed names for the new truck.
You may recall that when Pontiac unveiled the American “ute” at the New York Auto Show they informed the world that they were going to have a contest to name the new model. Well, the public has responded. Were Pontiac to sell as many of the “ute” as it’s had nominations for its name, they’d be quite happy, one suspects. As it is, however, Pontiac is now faced with sorting through the massive number of names, a task apparently given to the marketing division. The final say, they say, goes to the marketing department. Maybe. But, we think that it’s a bit more complex than that. (more after the jump) >> read

The brand new 2008 Pontiac G8 is a lovely car with tons of power, respectively 361 BHP for the 6 liter V8 and 256 BHP for the 3.5 liter V6. To enjoy and control all this power the G8 is putting at your disposal all the modern features you would only expect in a German sedan: multi-link suspension, ventilated disk brakes and rear wheel drive propulsion.
Priced at $33k for the loaded V8 model, this new Pontiac G8 cannot be ignored, that’s why we went all the way to San Diego to test it for ourselves. (full road test after after the jump) >> read 2008 Pontiac G8 test drive Picture Gallery .

Here are a couple of pictures of the Pontiac G8 V6 and V8 next to each other, apparently very similar, only the back taillight, tailpipe and door handle are different. So far we have driven the V8 for a few minutes on the highway. The right is very comfy and the cheer power of the V8 is really fun. But the gearbox is a bit sluggish, slow to change gears and spoil the fun but we’ll tell you more after a few more miles...

I just got picked up at the San Diego airport by the new Pontiac G8, on my way to the hotel, waiting for tomorrow morning test drive. The first impression from the passenger seat are very positive. Driving around San Diego downtown was very comfortable, with the right amount of feedback from the road an the engine. Inside it feels like a proper sport sedan as well. So far, the G8 feels very docile while driven in the city, come back tomorrow for a much more detailed article.
TopSpeed.com will be driving the 2008 Pontiac G8 at the end of the week, but for the impatient Pontiac lovers, Popular Mechanic already had their chance to try to new 361 horsepowered Pontiac G8. The first driving impression are very positive, PM love the new G8 driving sensation thanks to sharp steering and the four-link rear suspensions. Of course the bargain takes its tool on some average interior styling but that should not turn off Pontiac buyers looking for a 360 horsepower bargain. After reading the review we can’t wait to drive the car in the twisty California roads... Stay tuned 2008 Pontiac G8 Picture Gallery
Buying a new car always require many visits to the dealership, lots of hours spent on research, lot of nerves, and of course requires a lot of patience! But it not really necessary to be like this. Here are a few steps to follow that will spare you for all that trouble and help you get a great deal for your new car. The first thing to know is when is the perfect time to go to the dealership and what to do when you get there. So, the perfect day to go is a Saturday morning, just a hour before launch time? Why? Lots of people in there and you can do your research without having a sales person bugging you every minute. When you get in there take a look at the cars and write the model numbers down. The numbers are generally on stickers inside the front glass. After that request a test drive, drive the cars on both in the city and on the highway. At this point say is launch time and you haven’t eat yet and leave. When you get home and start making your price research. One more think, if you’ll finance don’t do it in the moment of the purchase. More about the first steps at the dealership can be found in here. >> read
Bad news for Zonda fans. The Pagani Zonda R will not be on the roll call of next month’s Geneva auto show. The track honed, 750 hp supercar made entirely of carbon fibre, will sit out another auto show as Zonda are busily working on more important projects having neglected this one. Only 10 of these will ever be made and maybe thats what has caused this disappointment? Zonda needs to sell all the 10 to cover the entire cost of the project and it seems like they haven’t. A few are still waiting for buyers and only when they are bought, Zonda would be able to proceed to the next step and subsequently, the launch. Either a strict company policy or the unavailability of a display car has resulted in this decision by Zonda. Nevertheless, production of these ten units will begin next month. The ultimate track car will compete with the likes of Ferrari FXX and will come with a price tag of 1.2 million euro.
