Because that's what sells....besides what's wrong with being in sales? GM is never gonna offer the variety they used to--it costs too much and they are very cost conscious. If you are stuck on a 2-door, then looks like its the camaro....

You guys never gave the 2 door gto a chance, so now they offer this. It looks pretty good, Pedders also has full suspension components available for it already.

I'm married and have a 4 year old little girl. I can definitely appreciate an affordable badass LSX powered 4-door capable of 13's bone stock.
Why whine about a 4-door like this when GM is going to offer the Camaro in 1 year's time? Some of you just have nothing else better to do than complain.

We are all entitled to our opinion and mine is simply that it doesn't look very sporty even though I am sure it will be a good alternative for someone like yourself.
BTW, it's not really the 4 doors I don't like. It's just the overall look of it.

So, it's okay to state your opinion that you like it and that it meets your requirements because you have kids but when someone says they don't like the looks of it like me then we are just whining?

You may not like the overall look of it, but there have been pictures of this car all over the internet for months. I don't really see your point in coming into this relatively new thread (which is focused on a positive article written about the G8) just to express your negative opinion on the car.

I thought most of the car mags had good things to say about the GTO and SSR at first, then when they bomb sales-wise, they trash them. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice car, but too many people today won't consider anything but rice.

I think it's an excellent looking replacement for the GP...which is a 4 door car...
This isn't supposed to be a sports car remember. It's supposed to be a sedan.
And it's one of the nicest looking sedans I've ever seen IMO.
Very cool article. Can't wait to see them out on the streets!

Looking at that intake tract would make you think there is some power to be had there. I hops the have a nice looking gray or dark blue, I may have to consider it.
