Picked up the replacement to my GXP
You certainly upgraded yourself, Levi!
The GT is SOOO much nicer than the base G8, it's like they're two different cars. My wife and I looked at the V6 car before we bought the Impala, but for the money they wanted, it looked and felt cheap inside, and the 3.6 was weak in such a heavy car.
If we could have budgeted for a GT at the time, I know we would have been happy with THAT!
Anyway, congrats!

I looked into the V6 models but the mpg's are nearly the same along with price in my area.
Now I am contemplating selling my camaro and getting a maggie. . . .

I have to say, this G8 is very nice. I went for a ride in it today as Levi and I live fairly close and it pulls HARD. It was obvious the previous owner took great care of the car, as it's very clean as well.
Beyond the car, I can see why so many people are going with G8s. They seem to be what the LS4 platform was always destine to be. RWD and a sedan.
The fit and finish is on a whole other level, the power is very linear, and the looks are timeless. Lets just say this kid will have one a few years down the line.
Until then, I will enjoy every minute with my LS4 though, as it is a great car as well!
Levi, I did go to the carwash and clean the car on the way home!

I think this is a cool picture, as well as the one in your sig. I traded in my '02 Monte SS for an '08 Liquid Red G8 GT, and parked along side my Red Jewel Tintcoat Grand Prix GXP, I think they look pretty good together. I think it's going to be a while before I find something that strikes me the same as Pontiac styling. Just my two cents.
