I'd consider it as a used vehicle.

Im one of those people who just dont need to tell every single person, "Hey, my car is super fast." Its one of the reasons I have owned a Formula, G8 GT and a GTO. None of those cars were complete knock outs but they have the performance that surprises people because they are so understated.

But make it look at least a bit less boring! Put a hood ornament on it if you have to.

I agree that it looks better in red, but lets be real, this car should have been a 2010 G8 and today, 2013 it should be a new body style, which would be more "current" if you know what I mean

ooh! I'd buy that!

It looks more like 90's styling.

Maybe it drives great?! If it doesn't then they should either tough it out until DI and other engine perks come in or chuck it up.

Supposedly the first boatload has shipped.


For those wondering how it will drive think of an updated GXP with a stiffer but not harsher feel. Some reviews from Australia on them are popping up and almost every single one gushes about the new feeling.

I personally love the car but i do wish it came with the lt1. Once these come out and the aftermarket steps in with hoods,wings and maybe even diffusers plus a set of nice wheels it will look HAWT!!!!
