What's in our Car Town garage today? (January 5, 2014)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

2009 Pontiac G8

The muscular sport saloon, the Pontiac G8, is another Pontiac that was imported from Australia via Holden just like the last-generation GTO sports coupe. Even though it's a four-door saloon car, it's still a V8 muscle everyone can afford. The most powerful version is the the one with the 6.2L V8 engine producing 415HP of power. Even though the crowd is raving for the most affordable V8 car, the Pontiac was prematurely discontinued following with General Motors pulling the plug on the Pontiac division in the year 2010. Even though it's no longer available to us, the G8 is a rare car to see on American roads and served as the last Pontiac ever made.

1980 Renault 5 Turbo

Before the Clio V6 emerged from the late 90's, there was the 5 Turbo in the 80's and like its spiritual successor, the R5 Turbo is a mid-engined hot hatch which comes with the 1.4L turbo engine producing 160PS of power. The first 400 models were made to comply WRC's Group 4 homologation and from 1981 to 1986, the Renault 5 Turbo racked up four victories! The 5 Turbo is just one of the most memorable sports cars ever made by the French.

2011 BMW X5

The BMW X5 first adopted the word Sport Activity Vehicle, which is kinda more of a marketing term for BMW's full size SUV and for its second-generation, the X5 still progresses further with a wide range of engine choices, cutting edge-technology on and off the road, and a luxury interior fit for a businessman to cozy around. There's even a high-performance M version as well.
