G8 GXP Vs. Camaro SS

Before I get the inevitable response "BUT THE GEE EIGHT HAS FOR DORS!", I want to mention I am cross shopping these vehicles. In fact, I think every vehicle can be compared to every other vehicle. I recently chose between a silverado, trail blazer, and acadia. not necessarily in the same "class", but still can be cross shopped.

So I've weeded out the CTS (my other vehicle I was shopping), and am down to just the G8 GXP and Camaro 2SS. Performance wise, I think the 'maro will beat it out slightly, but they both have the LS3, and aren't going to weigh a whole lot different. (the GXP recently was said to have 415hp with the M6) Unfortunately G8 pricing isn't out yet, but I'm expecting it to be a few thousand over the 2SS pricing. I like the interior of the G8 a bit more, though the exterior gets a slight nod in the Camaro direction.

I'm hoping to order one or the other in the next couple of weeks, but I'm not sure which! What are your opinions on the G8, and how it stacks up to the Camaro.


Edit: I also have the feeling in the next 6 months Camaro's are going to become very common (which is great for GM!), but the G8 might remain slightly rarer. This may weigh in my decision as well.
