I don't care what you think or feel. I'm happy it's coming here as a GM product and it could be named the Saab Turdbucket and I'd buy it. You are getting far too caught up in brand managing to see what a helluva vehicle this is. Too many people get caught up in the minutiae (sp.) of a vehicle and it's positioning and forget to see it for what it actually is. I find it sad, your loss my gain. Besides this thread is about the G8 GXP anyway.

I agree. Let's get back on topic. So what does everyone think the G8 GXP will sell for? My guess is $3000-$5,000 over the G8 GT, only because of the LS3 engine (and a probable upgrade of the tranny to make it stronger). I wonder if they'll rename the LS3 because its HP will be less than the Corvette's? Anyway, I expect it will blow the doors off the G8 GT.

Car looks really good, much better than B.S.MW, but how will this sell in the middle of ballooning gas prices?

In terms of the car's cost, I paid around $27K for a fully loaded Pontiac Grand Prix GT 5 years ago. GXP will probably be in the 38G territory.
