FINALLY, the "coming early 2008" and the mini-site are gone, in place of a normal site for the car, complete with some sweet music , a better "build it", and a little widget with all of the contests in it. Still can't use the Locate a Vehicle, but it's a step closer

Also, it looks like the price of the package I would want (Premium + All Seasons, which had gone from $1400-$2000) is back to $1400. Woohoo!

Still nothing up on the GM Buy Power site or the FamilyFirst Buy Power page. They had only one at the Minneapolis Auto Show - it was on a turntable and unaccessible (unlike in Chicago). GM's going to manage to blow the launch of this one too - they should have information (if not cars) ready to go when all the press hit a few weeks ago.

Timing is about right. My local dealer is expecting their first G8s sometime in the next 2 weeks. I can't wait to see them, but this better site will do for now.

The new vibe is also up. The "build your own" section is scary. I had a very hard time making one that didn't make me want to vomit. This was the best I could do.

Thanks for the laff.

$33k MSRP for a v8 G8 with Premium and Sport packages. Not bad.

Factor in all the future rebates and discounts, $33k would probably be the OTD price. That's a good deal.

No manual... sucks.

I can't wait till they come in, I really want one, but am going to wait till the fall. My local dealer actually had a new Vibe in stock. Not bad looking. Saw a new Matrix on the road, and it looks like crap

Give it a couple months...

I thought they were saving the manual for the GXP.

 

[vandy0419]

At least this dealer is admitting that they're selling them for over MSRP...they're reserve is 1k more than MSRP...

No supposed to be releasing a manual in the V8 GT at the end of the 08 season.

The more up-to-date info that was suggested in the first round of press stories is that the manual would be a GXP only. My guess is that its pretty hard to get the cylinder cut-off to work with a manual transmission as the computer isn't fully in control of all the inputs. The LS3 doesn't have cylinder cutoff and so the manual is in.

I can't wait to see the new colors available on the '09 models. The grey, white, and black are nice, but I'm not a fan of the blue-purple, and bright red looks out of place on a large sedan IMO.

I would sure like a Dr. Pepper red though.

Of course, since the '08's are not even at my local dealers, I may be jumping the gun a bit...

I thought some SS Holden wheels came with the Sport Package, I'm not seeing them.

Oh yeah, you are right. Maybe a mistake with the new site? It was on the mini-site not too long ago. But now the rims don't seem to change.

 

[Lichtronamo]

The sport package wheels are those 19" shown on the Holden SS model above. For some reason, the website is showing only the V6 model wheels. The mini-site used to show the V6 wheels, GT wheels and sport package wheels.

I agree, I submitted a comment to the website using their e-mail form to notify them of the mistake - at least in Firefox it's a mistake.

Do you know what drop these springs are?
