I would prefer a Kia. Though I wouldn't buy it normally, but I prefer it over ANY IMPORTED Pontiac. When I am buying Pontiac, I am only buying it because it's a domestic, and because it's American. I wouldn't pay for any import who just tacks the name of the American brand that is just ridiculously ugly. I can care less about the power nor drivetrain. NORTH AMERICAN DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY is all I want in a Pontiac. I wouldn't spend my hard earned money on something that is just a re-badge of an import. Simple as that. When I am shopping for an American car, I want an ACTUAL NORTH AMERICAN car, not an import, for I hate imports, and for this G8 doesn't even LOOK like a Pontiac, It even smells like an import inside and out. No Thank You. I would rather get an Amanti and help my native countries economy, though I don't trust neither Hyundai nor Kia's quality.
