For the pricing I think I will end up getting a 05-07 GXP when the pricing falls of for my current body style when the G8 makes it into the showrooms.

I must admit that Pontiac seems to be coming closer to the Japanese market. I like that G8 and i’m sure its a bad ass ride inside - not a fan of the hood/front. I raced a G6 supercharged I think? in my hatch and barely squeeked by. Car was pretty fast.

I bet the STS could probably hang with a 6.0L G8… but a 6.2L G8 might be lights out for the STS. But who knows its all up in the air.

I know the car that this G8 is based off of, the Holden Commodore does a .88g on the skid, and runs a 13.7 so who knows

no its not…your really stretching it.

a USED SUV & a sportcar compared to a dr sedan…  
if your talking used…a CTSV or STSV \> any G8 but we’re no ttalking used so back on topic

we know you’re always in your own world but come on…thats a STRETCH even for you.

whats the difference is a CTS/ STS and a G8… one is more sport oriented & the other is more luxury…both are GM mid to full size 4 door sedans with V6 &/or V8s

all i’m saying is for 40+K i’m not buying a pontiac…peroid.
