[Method]

Thoughts?

http://gmcanada.com/gm/static/english/vehicles/2007/pontiac/g8/index.html

Wonder how it will fair against a stock WS6. I'm pretty sure with the M6 it'll be compareable, because they seem to only come in auto, but I don't know. Ideas?

[shady milkman]

i really dont know..it looks like it could be really heavy..but yea i am excited

[Vertiviper]

Looks like a factory built ricer IMO. But, it does pack a wallopp in the power department.

It looks like a Civic had sex with a GTO.

[Mr. Luos]

I like it. Looks REALLY good from the side.

For me though, it wouldn't work. I would be looking for a daily driver, which that would do just fine for if I lived in Florida. :lol:

[shady milkman]

hmm silly me. considering "rice" is defined as gaudy body work and large non-functional spoilers..stickers...neon lights ect. the g8 is just going the same design route that all gm cars are going. shit.. some people call trans am's formula ricers :nono:

Hey it's all opinion, right.

true enough.

They should have made a 450hp option to go up against the charger/magnum srt-8. They will hold their own against an R/T.

Leaves the TL and G35's in the dust though.

[The Guz]

Its a nice car. There is a rumor floating around that the GXP G8 will be out a year later with the LS3. Has not been confirmed.

[1TA LS1]

I think it's going to be comparable to a stock WS6. It's heavier, but it's got the new LS2. I've heard the 0-60 will be near 5 seconds. Although it's only in manual for now, I think it's going to be a great model for Pontiac. They will have a GXP model some time later. And it might have the LS7 :drivin:

I love the G8, looks awesome. AND WAY better than any 5 series/A6's out there. I heard the interior will be gorgeous too. (I hope). I know I really want one, but I don't have a need for a four door car.

[Vertiviper]

I don't have a need for a four door car.

Unfortunately that will prolly be the killer of GM in the long run.

they are discontinuing the ls7 for the ls3...are you sure u didnt mean ls3?

:givesaf: ugly, bring back the GTO stop wasting our time! :coffee:

I think all the recent cars that have come out in the last few years have been GOD awful looking. Time to clean house with car designers... ill wait for the return of either the GTO or Firebird in 2010... hopefully they don't screw that up, no more retro! :nono:

Agreed.

400 gm hp is at least 450 dodge hp, maybe more.

[basballny2]

[jomo]

It's for the people with two three kids that can't get the wife to okay a GTO, so GM gave them a four door GTO. It's also to compete with chrysler 300, dodge charger etc.

Don't get pissed off my friend Gm is making the Camaro again, maybe the firebird too.

[basballny2]

the firebird was put into retirement we will never see one again.....camaro yes but not firebird.....IMO its ugly i mean.....if you have 3 kids why do u need 400 hp? buy a minivan and a 2 door like a 4th gen fbody :wave:

Also, be sure to look for this to be rebadged as the new impala. Whoops, did I leak that?

No, you didn't leak that and it's not an Impala. It's a Lumina. I'm not sure all the countries it was released in, Saudi Arabia, I know.
