Because the Toyota Avalon, a car my grandmother drives, goes 0-60 in 6 secs. That's quick. Fast is something else. under 5 secs is pretty fast; 1/4 mile in the 12s is nice fast. Lots of cars can do that, from Evos to amg 55/63s, Old f-bodys, Pontiac GXPs, various bimmers, blah blah, lots of cars go 0-60 in under 5, and ours ain't one of them.
I don't think any one of the vehicles you mention matches the G in terms of the mixture of lux/sport you get for the price. Sure you can get a stripped down go-cart that runs faster but I'm personally not in that market at all and wouldn't even cross shop the G to most of those cars. I really couldn't care less about Pontiacs or Evos running faster because I wouldn't buy one of those vehicles no matter how fast they were.
