Ok...I want to know just how many people have seen this G8 GT BEAUTY in person!!!

My wife, kids, and I were running our errands today and after breakfast at IHOP, began driving passed the Pontiac/GMC dealer. I had to pull in.

What did I see but a red Pontiac G8 GT w/ black leather interior. Now.............. I'm telling ya'll this is one more vehicle like the concept where pictures DON'T do it justice! I was floored by how awesome it looked. The interior leather actually felt like nice leather and the seats were increadibly comfortable. The dash had the large LCD touch screen...don't know if it had NAV or not, but it had bluetooth, onstar, homelink, heated seats, power front seats, chrome pedals, and 19 inch chrome wheels.

This G8 GT was GORGOUS! I actually began thinking that if for some CRAZY reason the new Camaro didn't work for me, this was going to be my new ride. Oh, and the room in the back seats?!?!?!?! WOW!

The dealer smiled when he told me it had 361hp...and then kinda jokingly mentioned about it having more hp than my SS. hehehehe....I found it funny. But, I asked about the G8 GXP and he looked baffled. It was okay, he was well informed about the car sitting in front of us. But, I told him to look up on the web about the G8 GXP w/ the LS3. Ohhhh yeah.

He said that they got 4 total in the first shipment and sold three right off the bat. The one we were looking at was the last and only one on the lot until they got the next delivery. I told him about all my great purchases from Ancira at $200 over cost and the last at $100 over cost. He looked at me and said, "Well...I don't think you are going to find any of these at a price like that here, but we'll let this one go at MSRP."

I'm tellin' you guys.....the G8 GT is a helluva car. Can't wait to see the G8 GXP. Oh, and the MSRP on this one w/ the $1250 option (steering wheel leather, pedals, heated seats, and a couple other things in this package) as well as the $800 sport package (19" rims, summer tires, some other stuff) were the only two options picked.

EDIT: I actually felt like I was buying a car again checking this one out, I was so excited. It kinda made me feel like that kid again buying my first Z28...hehehe...cheesy, I know. But, wow...I was excited to see that because I knew then just what we were in store for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
