Want a silver one.

You can pull them up on the locator right now off of Pontiacs site. Look up the 08s with your zip code then go up to the address bar and find the 08 for model year and change it to 09 and it will pull the 09s up that way. I know they are as far as Arizona being seen in person on dealer lots.

Sweet! Thanks for the search tip. Found a bunch of 09's, but no silver ones yet.

I wonder if there are any changes to the 09 model other than the GXP package? Like revising the red atari lights on the dash that every car mag review has shredded Pontiac for going with....

Atari guages are gone, in place is a "storage tray" that everyone now hates, silver is coming in the next batch as is bluetooth making a midyear appearance. XM is now standard and Ignition Orange says good-bye for '09 w/ Magnetic Grey up in the air right now...also interior has been changed on some surfaces to dark grey instead of black...that is all...

I just test drove a beutiful blue 09 G8 GT at Beck & Masten I-45 South. I want that car in a bad way, but they won't budge on the price. I was actually looking for a red 08.

I guess I'll go back to hurry up and wait mode.lol.

Was it the lighter blue or darker blue???

I show a PSM at that location so I would venture to guess the darker blue...

It was a beautiful bright blue. It was almost the color of the 91 Silverados that came out in a brilliant blue.

Oh ok, it was the SBM (Stryker Blue Metallic) and now I see that the locater has been updated and shows it now...

How many miles were on it?

TXCAMSS

It only had about 26 miles on it when we brought it back. We were gentle with it. It had just been unloaded that morning if that helps any. It was at Beck & Masten South off I-45 South. The sticker was like 34500 ish.

Nah I'm waiting on the other location to get theirs. I just wanted to know if they were going to try and pawn one off from that location on me. I already had a deposit down on the one coming in at the other location...Thanks for the info!!!

The 2009s are on the lots now. There's literally no real difference between the model years aside from the center stack gauges being disabled. There is no "storage tray".

The price for the GT also increased substantially for 09. I drove both a 2009 and 2008 yesterday and as a result I went ahead and snagged an 08. It's thousands cheaper to do so and you give nothing up to the 2009.

XM and blank gauges aren't worth the big increase GM is asking.

Glad you got your '08. I could live with gray or white, but I really, really want to see a silver one first. I plan on keeping the car a long time, so want to get exactly what I want.

I thought the 09 comes with the LS3.. That there alone would be worth a few grand to me.

The gauges are gone, not just disabled. While it may not be a storage tray, it is a little cubby with what looks to be a rubberized mat.

Here is a photo of 2009 dash from this post (http://www.g8board.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=9):

Only the GXP. The GT still comes with the L76.
