I have to admit that my two Camaros ('98 and '02) were more satisfying than the Mercedes and BMW that preceded them. The '85 was not as satisfying. And in comparing the G8 GT to the Camaros, it's not all in the positive direction. But overall, I do like the G8.

The verdict is still out on my G8....but so far so good.

The GXP has everything I see in that pic minus the leather wrapped dash. The steering wheel, seats, and all are the same.

I think the G8 GXP should have came with an upgraded interior....The show car interior would have been perfect for the GXP.
