Could very well be.

My wife got her G8 because she loved the way it looks. I told her to get the V8 because the V6 was around the same price and it did not have that much better gas miles. The bright side with the G8's V8 is that it tuned to take 87 octane. It gets ****** gas miles but at least it doesnt run on premium. If we had to do it over again we probably would have gotton a Malibu or a Sonata. They get better gas miles then the G8's. Dont get me wrong I love the G8 but getting 250-300 miles per tank is pretty crappy compared to the other cars on the market. The GXP's probably get 200-250 miles per tank.

Between our 4 cars, the T/A, Vette, G8, and Jeep our Vette is the oldest and gets the best gas miles with around 22 combined and 28 on the hgwy.

So are you gonna buy one or no?

What else is a little odd is that this Chevy SS with the 415hp LS3 does 0-60 in around 5.0 seconds while the GXP LS3 415hp did it in 4.6 seconds.
