Love it or hate it, Pontiac is really trying hard to get the G8 known!

That's what they are going for, borrowing off the popular Holden brand:

A GXP and a 5th gen would look so hot in my driveway.

My LS2 GTO will be going away for a G8 ST GXP (yes, they will make one). Possibly the handiest and most unique looking muscle car ever made. Make it in orange please.

On the Pontiac website you can't get the G8 with a stick.

The L76 has cylinder deactivation which doesn't work with manual tranmissions, so no manual for the G8 GT.

Thank you for that info. Just learned something! -- That I will never buy that car.... Someone at GM is stupid. A stick would save more gas than DOD especially when considering cost.

From what I have heard late this summer. Starting mid 30's. Over 400 horsepower, 13.0 @ 109 are the estimates....
