Man I wish I could be one of those 888 first buyers.

You could be, I am sure that it wont be that hard.

I heard that when they start making the G6 off the alpha platform, they are going to do the same thing...

LoL 666 funny...

Oh God, so what will the premium be if one of those first 888 manages to slip into a dealers lot?

The options book for the G8 is available here:

http://eogld.ecomm.gm.com/NASApp/dom...ID=6090&type=0

Looks like I'd be interested in the 2EC69 in 80U over 463 (the only color interior offered except in combination with red) with PCQ and CF5. No PDX as the 19" wheels only come with summer performance tires - not good in MN.

In English, that's a G8 GT in Panther Black over Onyx with the Premium Package and sunroof. No sport package as as the 19" wheels only come with summer performance tires.

The book lists the V-8 with 355+ HP and 395+ LB-FT and the V-6 with 261 HP and 250 LB-FT.

Now, if we could just get some prices and an actual car to drive...

Looks like GM caught on that someone linked an internal Dealerworld site. Bummer. You could also find the order book on the new CTS and other models. What do you want to know?

KIDDIESEL79 · 09-25-2007, 09:32 PM

Sunroof and leather standard on V-8 model?
