mbuku, do you think it fits in the Pontiac ideal/theme/lineup?
I personally think it would look better as a pontiac without the nosestrils.. Seeing it in person. The only other cars that looks its worth in that dealership are the Solstice and the new Vibe.. which looks hot in person...

I saw a g6 gxp.. its too firebird 80's for my liking.... I want no nosestrils and blue tooth.. I think my corolla is coming up for replacement. I will either take the CTS, G8, Camaro or perhaps a Saab XWD.. Ford Fusion and Malibu are also in the running...

I hope those aren't the same 2 they had in stock 2 weeks ago when I came in to look at the new Vibe GT. They were both grey. Hine in Mission Valley also had 2 and I think Young in Escondido had 1. Surprisingly out of those only Seaside had a Vibe GT.

Re: Mbuku Drives the G8

I drove a V6 myself just a few days ago. It was metallic grey, which is the only one of the current colors I would have.

I enjoyed it very much. Though it has the same drivetrain as my 2005 CTS, it seemed more "bouncy". Lighter on it's feet. The cabin was very roomy, and all seat positions I would call comfortable.

Handling was superb. But I must say I thought the cabin was pretty noisy at highway speeds.

I am considering one quite strongly to replace my CTS when its lease is up in November.
