You say that like it is a bad thing.
If you can judge by that little, it looks great.

Well, GM has been saying that they want Pontiac to be the BMW-fighter in the division. Hence the numerical names by size.

Very BMW, looks great. I think they should keep the Grand Prix name plate. What would better than being out somewhere and that passes by and someone asks you, "What's that?" You say "G8" and they'll be like, "What's a G8?" But call it Grand Prix and I can bet the response would be "THAT'S A GRAND PRIX?!?!"

I expect mid 30s, maybe 35-37, 40 fully loaded. It has to be less than the CTS-V.

It'll probably be priced like the chrysler 300. you can get a stripped down one for under 30, but the full optioned ones go for over 40

More details will be released, but pricing of the G8 will be in line with the GTO. No info is known on the engine being either the L98 version making 370hp or an American Spec LS2 making 400. There will also be a V6 model that will be sold. More info to be known in a week.

From what I can see I like it. It would have been funny if that reporter ripped the rest of the cover off

Can't get excited yet until I see the rest. The nose doesn't tell you anything other than it's a Pontiac. I really hope the rest of the car isn't BMW-esque. I also hope they keep the price in the 20's. Putting it up around the GTO would be stupid in my book. We aren't paying for a recognized name, and the mission of the G8 is what? A grocery getter with a huge engine?

Looked like a Chrylser 300 with a Pontiac grill.  Hopefully they price it where it will be able to sell.
