The 2009 Pontiac G5 was recently named the cleanest burning gasoline car in NADA’s (short for National Automobile Dealers Association) latest survey. Coming in a close second was its sister car, the 2009 Chevy Cobalt LS. Both cars showed incredibly low annual greenhouse gas emissions output. So why should you be concerned with this? For starters, the Pontiac G5 has a ridiculously low base price.

In addition to that, there are some amazing rebates being offered in most areas as well as low-APR financing. This is aside from the fact that the G5 is an exceptionally well-put-together car with loads of great standard features like the OnStar onboard diagnostics and emergency response system, XM satellite radio with free three-month trial period and steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls.

To top it all off, every new Pontiac vehicle comes with GM’s Total Confidence package, which includes a plan that covers your monthly payments in the event that you lose your job or primary source of income for up to nine months! Now there really is no excuse not to drive green. You can view the full results of NADA’s survey here.

There’s nothing more satisfying than buying a car. Not just because you need it, but because you want it. At CarsDirect, we understand that very real and powerful desire. That’s why we’re blogging about the 2008 Pontiac G8. Not only is it a functional, good-looking sedan, it happens to be one of the fastest (in V8 GT trim) in its class. With a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds, the G8 is incredibly quick. Owing its awesome acceleration to its 355-horsepower 6-liter V8 engine, the G8 GT is clearly the sportier model of the two trim levels. However, the base G8 still impresses with its 256-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, achieving 0-60 mph in 7 seconds flat. It’s also built to handle.  The G8’s suspension, developed by GM’s Holden branch in Australia, nonchalantly sheds body roll through corners while maintaining a firm, yet civil ride on the highway.

How do you aid in your justification for buying such a powerful car that’s this much fun to drive? Easy: OnStar turn-by-turn navigation, automatic crash response and vehicle diagnostics free for one whole year.  On top of GM’s amazing OnStar system being standard equipment, you get the G8’s above-average fuel economy. With the V6 model getting 17/25 mpg (city/highway) and the V8 getting not much less at 15/24 mpg (city/highway) thanks to its active fuel management system, these fast four-doors won’t have you at the pump as often as you might think.

Now, for the part you’ve been waiting for. Right now, during Pontiac’s Red Tag Event, you can save an amazing amount of money on all 2008 G8 models. You have to see the savings for yourself to believe them. Just click the link below, type in your zip code, and the prices will show up.

Today is September 29th. That means two things: the presidential election is 36 days away and you have exactly today and tomorrow to pull the trigger on the Pontiac’s 24-mpg highway-rated Torrent. That’s pretty respectable for a Crossover and even more so when you consider that figure is the best in its class.

2008 Pontiac Torrent Prices

That didn’t take too long, did it?  General Motors, in an effort to generate additional sales, is offering employee pricing for a limited time on all 2008 GM vehicles and even some 2009 models.  What does this mean for you?  Now is your best time to purchase a GM vehicle, because it’s probably going to net you the lowest price.   The special pricing suprisingly includes the quick and nimble Chevy Cobalt, the Pontiac G5, and the ultra-svelte 304 horsepower Cadillac CTS.  Gasoline is still cheaper in the United States than in Europe, so it’s ok to splurge on that car you’ve been eyeing for the past year–now is the best time.  But you better figure out which one you want, because the deal runs out September 2nd, 2008.  That gives you less than 11 days to decide. 

We scoured the web but could not find a list of the GM vehicles which qualify, so we thought it would be good to include a sampling for you to see exactly which vehicles qualify for the GM Employee Pricing Offer. 

Simply click on the vehicle you’re interested in, and you’ll land on a pricing page.  Click on the model you’re interested, then type in your 5-digit zip code and you’ll get to see the lowest price in your area.  Easy as pie.
