A G8 Firehawk?! I think they need to come up with someone a little more original. That Firehawk logo is a thing of the 90's.

its like SS it's too bad they used it on everything... definitely killed the SS name... they could have said something like "From the makers of the firehawk! comes the fireBALL" hahaha

Car is cool, but the name is f*ckin gay. Firehawk should be left to the T/A.

lol that is horrible

firehawks were great in firebird form because of the similarity between the names... fireHAWK, fireBIRD... g8 has nothing to do with anything lol.

Such weakness...

If they had just taken the firehawk emblem off it would be a nice car.

An SLP badge will do, why ruin it?

I dont like the G8's as sports cars. And I think its a disrespect to use the firehawk name in a G8.Kinda how they did with the SS name on the cobalts.IMO

SS is just a sport package... so that package can be added to the cobalt, impalas, monte carlos..etc etc..SS just makes it seem better and brings the value of the car up.
