Congratulations on your car and will look for the pictures in the regular G8 forum.
Sioux Falls huh, I'm originally from Sioux City. Should not be too many other GXP's in Sioux Falls.

Congrats on your GXP!! Did you get an automatic or manual? I got my G8 GT at the end of the year during the red tag event. Stickered in the low 30's. I paid $23,000, with all the incentives, plus got an additional $3,500 off with the GM credit card reward monies I had been accumulating. I think I got a tremendous deal on a phenomenal car. I can only imagine how good the GXP must be--enjoy it!!!

Just drive my new GT home. Love it!! Wondering if the gas mileage improves after a couple of tanks. Not too bad on the highway 23. What are others getting?

The GXP gas mileage is not very good, i knew that and dont think it will get any better, im just enjoying every gallon that i get to burn through. The car is great and cant say i would change a thing except the tires. CONGRATS on your GT..... ENJOY!!!

I live in Michigan. Drove in 6-7 inches of snow last week with no problem. I was very unsure about the G8 becasue I've always had a FWD Bonny. With the winter tires its as good if not better!

That sounds awesome!!! I'm having a difficult time getting around with the performance tires in fresh wet snow, did you get all season tires? or are you just rotating out winter tires and performance tires as the seasons demand? Thanks Rick

snow tires are crucial for this type of car in winter climates!

Good move getting the snowtires, phat-cobra...
(And when it's time to stop quickly on ice/snow, watch out
for any doofi behind you who may not have the proper tires !)
