This is a car that I'm really diggin' and have been waiting for for some time. You see, when it comes to fast 4-doors, there aren't that many choices. We have the Dodge Charger SRT-8, Chrysler 300 SRT-8 (basically the same thing), Nissan Maxima (yes it's front wheel drive but it's fast so don't bitch), the BMW M5 and M3 but they're a bit out most people's price range. In my opinion, the market is prime for a good ol' American muscle sedan which is exactly what the G8 is. I'm speaking mainly of the G8 GXP: this is the one that'll be priced around 40k, have 400+hp and a six-speed manual tranny. It will also have 14" rotors with some big honkin' Brembo calipers and 19" wheels... nice, right? It'll also do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, and most likely top out around 160mph.
This is good news for those of us who are in the market for a fast sedan. The paint on the show car was some kinda funky bowling ball gold, but other than that though they built a really nice car. The interior is somewhat reminiscent of the GTO, meaning it's nice with some quality materials?and that, combined with the bulldog exterior styling makes for handsome muscle ride. When the G8 comes out at the end of the year I may have to make some room in MR. ANGRY's garage for one. We'll see.
