+1 on the g8 gt. Even today, when people ask me what a good car is out there to buy thats a sedan, and ill tell them the g8 gt. Great price, Great performance, very nice interior.

Priuses (Prii?) already do run 12's. That's their 60'.

I have a Vibe GT and G8 GXP. The Vibe is light, feels it behind the wheel, handles and performs well.

I'm sure my GXP tips the scales at close to 4,100lbs. It is much bigger and heavier but it also feels a lot better. Effortless performance, amazing grip and great steering. After driving the Vibe around you really appreciate it's size and comfort too.

Damn, that cars' got some HIPS!! I like it, not only if they could lose their stigma of being overweight, cheap interiors and terrible handling characteristics I would think of buying one. They got the looks and power aspect down!

the back end looks 100x better than the current model, i like the retro styling there. Being a black car on video with sub par lighting, its really hard to see all the curves/detail of the new body style

A preproduction Charger was shot being track tested by the Michigan State Police last weekend.





Much more classic Charger cues on it than I anticipated like the swooshed hood and sides, big shoulders and full length rear lightbar.

Looks mean.

Agreed, back end looks much better. To bad they don't make that car in a 2dr.

I dont get it...so they properly redesign the back, making it look a bit more retro. I'll even give props for the sides, but then they slightly redo the front which has a completely different design altogether? fail. I say ugly, but, then again, that's because I'll always be seeing them from the front....in my rear view mirror!

I agree, that would rock. But I suppose that's sort of what the Challenger is for.

The G8's grille is very similar to the Aztek too. Just sayin'.
