Other Choices:

The G8’s chief rival is the Dodge Charger, which has more aggressive styling but is a little less refined. The Charger and the similar but more glamorous Chrysler 300 offer optional all-wheel drive, whereas the G8 does not. However, the Charger doesn’t have the thoroughly in-check body control and poise around corners to match the G8. The front-wheel-drive Ford Taurus (with an all-wheel-drive option) is just as large as its competitors, but it’s more clearly geared to an older, more conservative crowd. Then there’s the Nissan Maxima, which trumps the G8 for style but, because it’s front-wheel drive and only offers a V-6, can’t touch the G8’s level of performance.

    You are kidding, right? I hate to tell you this, but the Maxima has less style than a Taurus. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
