From GM: DETROIT - Pontiac today confirmed pricing for its new rear-wheel drive G8 performance sedan will start at $27,595 when it hits the streets in early 2008. The V-8 powered G8 GT will be available for $29,995. “The G8 represents the next phase in Pontiac’s commitment to bring seductively designed, high-performance vehicles to the showroom floor,” said Craig Bierley, Pontiac marketing director. “Our dealers and customers have been anxiously waiting for this vehicle since we first showed it at the Chicago Auto Show in February, so we’re really excited to get this car on the street early next year.” The G8 is powered by a 3.6-liter VVT V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission and comes equipped with a number of standard convenience and safety features, including StabiliTrak electronic stability control, six airbags and OnStar. The G8 GT ups the ante with a 6.0-liter V-8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and additional standard equipment. All I have to say about this I’m excited about the V8 which WILL be available with a REAL 3 pedal standard, not some pseudo standard tranny, not the wanker 3.6 V6 -taken from an other forum. 360 hp rwd 6 spd sedan… yummy…and being domestic you know you will be able to beat them down on price…I bet you will be able to pick up a decent one under $28K ---

Hm, wonder what it gets for gas mileage in 6th @ highway speeds. If I could average in the low 20s I’d be sold. The thing looks phenominal with the Holden wheels and a slight drop. Is Nav an option? ---

Bah, according to google, no bluetooth, sat radio or nav. Nice to haves, but still… the nav is already on the aussie model. ---
