#558 of 1265 2009 model year changes by white6 Feb 08, 2008 (8:43 am)
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. Replies to this message: rayainsw (Feb 08, 2008 8:48 am)

#562 of 1265 G-8 GXP by circlew Feb 21, 2008 (1:31 pm)
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

#566 of 1265 Getting kinda excited. by etcarroll Feb 22, 2008 (9:50 am)
So, I need to keep my '01 Impala for 1 more year, and let the initial rush for these die down, with the resulting easing of the price.   I hope the d-seat will adjust enough for a guy 6'3", 300lbs and 50" thru the shoulders.   The Imp was just fine in that regard.
