Default Would you get an 08 or 09 G8?
My fiancé is looking to trade in her R32 and get a G8 GT. Is there any major difference between the 2 that would make you choose one year over the other?


EDIT: should say GT in title.

'09.5 has Bluetooth and that would be enough for me to want it over the '08s

I say get the one that's the best price with the lowest miles. I have a Garmin GPS with bluetooth so the 2008 works for me.

Right before I bought mine, I asked if it had XM/Seris. If it was not capable of that - I would not have bought it.

Forget XM radio. They have gone downhill since 2009 and raised their prices to 15 dollars.

Now I use online radio through the AUX port.
