    Got Our First G8 in today

    badass car. i thought the front ends looked like shit in the pictures, but it looks really good in person. red with black leather. yum.

    only thing that sucks is no 6speeds till next year.

    ill work on snapping a few pics later on

    Just another car from Holden down under. Give it 2 maybe 3 years before Pontiac gives up on it too.

    Sorry folks not really diggin it. But I know we all have different tastes. It looks like a G6. I'd still take my wifes Legacy GT over it and smoke it.

    I think it's a nice car. I hope it does well. I'm sick of being stuck with nothing but FWD sedans. Nice to see some RWD sedans out ther now that aren't expensive premium luxury cars (aka BMW, Mercedes, etc.)

    If I was the color, BLACK I would sue Pontiac for slathering me all over these ugly cars in all their promos. WTF? :o

    The reviews on this car have been really positive in the magazines. Good for pontiac to try to make a 5 series that is relatively competitive for half the price. I know they're not the same, but its good to see progress.

    Does that have the LS2?

    nah, Pontiac put the L76 Truck motor in it. and the G8 weights a couple hundred more pounds than the GTO so it's probably over 4,000#. Oh, and the first batch only has autos with a 2.92 Rear Gear. Excitement, Indeed. :o

    Eh, could be worse. It still ran 13.1 in motortrend with all that going against it. The GXP is getting the LS3, so that should be interesting!

    I really don't see what's gay about it. It'd be a great option for a family guy looking for a four door sedan that's got some grunt to it.
