The G8 offers class leading value IMO, but the GT was only available with an automatic, which takes it off the table for a lot of people, and the GXP was brought over in such limited numbers that I doubt it will ever be a good deal on the used market.

It's really a shame that Pontiac had to go, right when GM was finally starting to move it back in the right direction. Their vision of making it the performance division and positioning it to fill the same slots as BMW at a lower price, with nearly all RWD offerings could have really worked out if they'd stuck to it.
