ok... so when they say first shipment, they don't mean the first boats or something.(?) So the real first shipment went out in Jan?

The first shipment has arrived in California and are now going through Customs and put on transport truck to their respective dealers across country.

making the auto show rounds. I saw it at DC and again at Philly. I swore that if I ever bought another new car, it would be something more economical. But I have to admit, that new G8 is seducing me.

2009 model year changes by white6

According to another forum, 2009 model goes into production on March 3, 2008. Additional colors include something called "Karma Metallic." Supposed to be a dark grey/blue; I'm very interested in seeing this in-person. Also, rumor has it the GXP version will be available soon after 09 model starts up; so far only 6-speed manual, upgraded brakes and some cosmetic int/ext changes are verified. We would assume a horsepower upgrade, but so far there have not been any specifics.

G-8 GXP by circlew

Although the Pontiac G8 GT has yet to hit the market, its combination of a rear-drive V8 — outputting 362 horsepower — and a sub-$30,000 price tag has already earmarked it as a performance favorite. And as good as the GT version looks, the GXP model promises to be exponentially better.
 
Thanks to a leak by a Pontiac dealership employee — and posted on G8GT.com — we have the first indication of what engine will be under the hood of the G8 GXP. A picture of General Motors' inventory controls website reveals that the GXP version will be powered by GM's LS3 6.2L V8 — the very same engine founded in the current C6 Corvette.
 
Although the shot doesn't list any horsepower ratings, in C6-guise the LS3 engine makes upwards of 436 horsepower. However, look for the 6.2L V8 to be slightly detuned in the G8 GXP

 
Regards,
OW
