Default Remember the SLP G8 Firehawk that was supposed to be coming out?

That didn't last very long.

I still think the entire debacle was one long running April fools joke.

It already did come out. About 8 months ago there were a dozen of them on Ebay. Actual G8s with different badging, interior, and exterior coloring, etc.

Exactly. Its pretty bad *** looking too! Not exactly what I would imagine seeing as a "Firehawk" but it may have been a quick way to throw some Firehawk Badges on. Too bad it's a four door.

I've seen a couple on Ebay. I've seen way cooler G8s than this one. It will be worth a lot one day though...

I don't think I ever saw such a unanimous hatred for a car when that was unveiled.

Not to mention SLP probably never recouped the cost of acquiring the Firehawk name. That's what they get for ******* with tradition.

We should pull up some of those threads where they were arguing with us, telling us our opinions dont matter and that it was all based on "market research" and all that other crap they were talking. Then we should send them an email with everyones signature and nothing but one question in it

"howd that market research work out for you?"
