Those in the UK may well have not heard of this model - they only made 1280 before GM pulled the plug on Pontiac, of which less than 300 were the GXP (2.0 turbo engine) with manual transmission.
They combined a very capable chassis with a direct injection 4 cylinder engine. It is dead easy to get the power output to around 200 bhp/liter (I'm running a conservative 375 bhp/375 Tq) with excellent mileage. My car will get into the 12 second range in the 1/4 mile while still getting 30 mpg when not under boost. It makes an interesting contrast to my Z4M coupe.
