I may pick up a GT or GXP for a DD if I can get the right price on one this summer. Haven’t driven one yet, but from what I hear they are pretty good, practical cars. Wondered if there were many experiences here. I did a search and saw that New Era has don’t some R&D which is good. I hate the front end though. If the hood is metal I’m shaving those stupid hood scoops. I think it should have looked more like this though. ![http://www.oz8.org/gallery/albums/Tuna/stripes.jpg](http://www.oz8.org/gallery/albums/Tuna/stripes.jpg) ---

I suppose I could just find one of these hoods and bumper covers and put it on said G8. Would be different. Think anyone would know what it was? ---

No experice with one other than seeing them on the road…but they’re domestic, so they’re probably garbage. /sarcasm ---

We have done a lot of R&D with the G8, so rest assured, you have a lot f support if you intend on doing some high performance upgrades to it, whatever you are looking for, we have something for you. ---

big mistake on GMs part giving it the shitty Pontiac brand name (and same look alth the front looks pretty good). That automatically drops the appeal (and value IMO) of a good car ---

the only thing i recall from working at a pontiac dealership, were the techs being really confused when they first came out. There were so many problems that couldnt be diagnosed, but im sure they have since been sorted. ---

I liked them when I saw it at the Chicago auto show. I laugh tho becuase side by side next to the new BMWs, they have some very similar features. Look pretty slick still tho ---

I’ll probably buy a GXP and then they’ll discontinue them the following year, continuing my trend. - Buy F-bod in 2001, discontinued in 2002. - Buy GTO in 2005, discontinued in 2006. - Buy Trailblazer SS in 2007, discontinued in 2008. ---
