What about the upcoming Pontiac G8
 

I haven't seen anyone mentioning the new upcoming Pontiac G8. Unless I missed it which I probably did. I would say that would fit into the ideal family man who loves sportcars and still have the space of a family car right? It's at over 360 horses and over 380 torque and a rear wheel drive platform. Whats your take on it?

I really like it and plan to make it my new DD when it comes out. I am also looking forward to seeing what simple bolt-ons and a premium fuel tune will do.

That might be the start of a whole new club too lol. I do like it myself

I'll probably pick one up in 2-3 years depending how the new camaro is

2.92 rear...that sucks

no manual trans?

I plan on making that car my first "New Car" and daily driver.

I believe the 6 speed will debut 6 months to a year after introduction....

good things :nod:

I'm still leaning towards the G8 as my next DD, but after seeing the Malibu I am having second thoughts.

You have a 4 door that can blow 13 second 1/4 mile times and looks good doing it. And have the same kind of good fuel economy as my Formula does. I am in need of a 4 dr very soon and looks like the G8 will be the one. So I will test drive it and trade in my cobalt SS if its thats good.

I like new Malibu better. Its only the 5.3 but thats still a strong motor

FWD vs RWD is a major decision factor. I'm no fan of FWD V8 cars - seems like a waste. Plus according to http://www.chevrolet.com/malibu/ there is no V8 option in the Malibu. Is that coming later?

No there wont be a V8 option for the Malibu. Its competition for the mid size car class V6 AND v4

Are you on crack? There's no V8 in the Malibu.

hes probably thinking of the new grand prix or the impala

I'll be getting one in 2010. I love the look of it. It will make a great DD.

it was the impala...i don't know why i was thinking the malibu

v4 eh? :lol:

SWEET its got a bike motor!!!

I saw on GMI the other day that the first shipment of G8's is on the water and on it's way.

if i wasnt getting the camaro i would def be trading in my gp on this. 6 speed of course :)

Auto or manual?

The new Cadillac CTS is a wicked four door.

:drool:

direct injection v6 with 300+ hp....god i hate being poor:|
