For those that are complaining about the G8 GXP, compare it to the Charger/300 SRT8.

436 - 422 = 14 hp....not 20 and most agree this is due to exhaust/intake not AFM.

This is exactly why this car is going to fail.. Too expensive... I mean come on, $40,000 for this? The GTO had better looks in my opinion... And I own a G6 however pontiac has moved in wrong direction with its muscle cars..

GM IS bringing the Holden Coupe 60 stateside in a few years and it'll either be called the G8 Coupe, or it will have the GTO name-plate again...

This coming from a trusted, and reliable source. But that was also over the summer when I was informed about this. With GM's current state who knows what's going to happen. Who knows what's going to happen to Pontiac as a brand too...

Back on topic though. Yeah G8 GXP is nice but too much for my tastes....

Yeah but being a G8 coupe, it is going to have that ugly pontiac fron grill design and fake hood scoops.. Iif they redesign it to look like a Firebird front or I hate to say it the original GTO, then it will look great and sell..

id love to see a GTO that actually resembles... a GTO...

However w/ the economy and fuel wars, this Camaro is probably the last NEW muscle car for a while.

the gxp will fail on price, even though its much less then the BMW, it is too expensive for the American budget minded person. look where in a ''f'' ing rescission 35,000 would be a more reasonable price.
