I haven't been viewing the forum lately, but I saw the Car and Driver review for the 2008 Pontiac G8 and found things very interesting.

Will, of course, be built on the Zeta platform.
In early 2008 will be built in Australia and China under the Pontiac, Buick and Chevy nameplates worldwide.
Here's the good part- Production will begin in 2008 in Canada when the Camaro is scheduled to arrive.
First year engine options 260Hp, 251 torque 3.6L V6 with a 5 speed auto
362Hp 391 torque L76 6.0L V8 with 6 speed auto
0-60 times with the V8 about 5 seconds.
The 6 speed manual will come out (with the introduction of the new Camaro) in late 2008.

V6 price about 26K
V8 price about 32K

The Camaro's prices may be a little lower for the G8 is a luxury vehicle that comes fully loaded. Hopefully all the first year bugs will have been hammered out by the time the Camaro comes out. And, too, there might be another V8 in the offing.
I plan on checking out the G8 just to get an inkling of what is to come. I know the Camaro will be fairly different, but it would still be neat to dream a little

If someone else has posted this already consider this a bump.
