Congratulations on the little bundle of trouble...errrrr...joy on the way
This would probably come down to price and condition of the car for me. Performance is good for both cars and reviews praise the driving dynamics of the G8. I've posted links to reviews for both cars.
Pontiac G8 GT:
MotorTrend: 0-60 in 5.3, 13.8 1/4mile at 102.8mph
R&T: 0-60 in 5.0, 13.5 1/4mile at 104mph
Automobile Magazine (no performance review but overall impressions)
Pontiac G8 GXP:
R&T: 0-60 in 4.7, 13.1 1/4mile at 109mph
C&D: 0-60 in 4.7, 13.3 1/4mile at 109mph
MotorTrend: 0-60 in 4.5, 13.0 1/4mile at 109.6mph
Good luck with your decision. Make sure to post pics of what you end up with!
