G8 front clip sneak peak!

Sorry if it's a repost...

looks like ABC was able to do a Bob Lutz with the G8 like he did with the CTS-V


Looks Killer!

You must have been living under the same rock I sometimes find myself under.

http://pontiacunderground.autos.yahoo.com/ has another side small pic.

http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10 has pics from the Chicago Auto Show webcam.

Oh, please don't post the header pic from G8board.com... the site admin has pulled it from there (it was heavily darkened), and has asked other sites to remove it (I did so on the above post)...

I said it in the other thread, too. The car looks great, but those wheels are terrible.



I hope there are other wheel options when it arrives.

If you see it posted elsewhere, send me a PM. I've had it nuked from here and GMI at his request...

So in other words it looks exactly like we all thought it would -- a Commodore SS with a Pontiac nose.

Excellent. Now for the details...

I dunno pricing, engines, etc. but I'm assuming $25k for a V6 and $30k for a V8. This is the G8 GT which we should get in late 2007 as a 2008 model. The G8 GXP arrives for the 2009MY and I'm personally hoping for some HSV styling and performance goodies...

The wheels on the G8 GT are HSV and I personally like them, but doubt they'll be on the production version of this car.

As others have pointed out, look at the similarity of the G8 lower front fascia and the G6's...
