Since GM doesn't get it - they are leaving Nav out of the G8 even in the 09, anyone know of a aftermarket install that integrates with the dash screen?

They did an outstanding job of making the LS4 motor sound respectable in my new car (2008 LaCrosse Super), so there's no reason why they can't do the same with the L-76 engine's sound. And they had better not make the same mistake with the GXP's LS3 motor. |

Replying to: jpstax1 (Mar 01, 2008 9:44 am) Have been reading your posts, very negative chap are you not? Hey Ray, how's it going mate? Getting closer now till launch for you. The bloody car has quad outlets and you reckon it is quiet ipstax1? Ever hear of noise regulations? Trust me, give this car a gutfull and you will love it. Driven heaps of them now, for a car this size, they handle great. As for some of you having a winge on price, you must be kidding! We pay about 50k for them here and our $ is almost the same as yours. You are getting them cheap. As for power, ever hear of 3'' exhaust, cold air and a maffless tune? Get it done and you get 300rwkw. Why is it that you want it all spoon fed to you. I know you guys have had to put up with absolute rubbish cars for years now. You are finally getting a damm good one, I know it's hard to believe. But believe it, this car is beating the crap out of Toyota here, as for Ford, not even close. Ray, go and put your deposit down now mate, they are almost there
