Look in the Automotive News section and Future Pontiacs Section. Whole bunch of pictures. Also, you won't be disappointed on the interior. Top notch. Very BMWish (Just like Lutz ordered!!).

I wouldn't mind getting one of those, damn things look great.

Finally, Bill is excited about a V8 car instead of a chick car/SUV. Congrats Bill!!!
