I cant wait to see more G8s on the streets, theyre a great looking car, kind of like an Acura TL meets an ///M3 with some Audi design fun in the mix.
I hate the hoodscoops and am pretty pissed they didnt even bother trying to get the weight down on the G8 but hey what can ya do, I guess if/when I buy a G8GXP that I'll have to make or buy a lightweight CF hood and some featherweight SSR or CCW wheels for it and make a titanium exhaust system
too bad GM didnt use more aluminum bodywork to keep the weight down and I wonder what the suspension parts look like, I know my FC rx7 had aluminum used everywhere possible to keep the weight down.
a G8 GXP sedan is a good reason for me to think about selling my 300hp AWD STi and moving over to the Pontiac world. I hope its not a bastard to the wallet in order to maintain with those massive rotors (14" up front!), 19" tires, etc. the costs of my STi are already scary but at least I have fun year round in it

All I need to know is the cost for the G8 GXP. If it is way over $35,000 then I will get a G8 GT but if it is close to $35,000 then I will be driving the GXP. I figure that I can make a G8 GT as good or better than the GXP for the price difference if it is over $35,000. Consider also that I can get a G8 GT until 9-2-08 with employee pricing as well.

Unfortunately it won't be happening unless Holden decides to make the Coupe 60 the new Monaro. If the new Monaro happens, then we have a much better chance of seeing a new GTO or G8 coupe in the states.
