2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo MR vs. 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP - Consider for a moment that the G8 GXP is the most powerful Pontiac ever built, including all those Firebirds with halitosis-spewing poultry on their hoods. Don't burn your Burt Reynolds posters, though. This four-door sedan promises to continue the Trans Am's legacy of high performance. (more)

#8 of 9 Edmund's G8 GXP review by jpstax1 Jan 14, 2009 (8:32 am)
http://www.edmunds.com/new/2009/pontiac/g8/101117956/specs.html The car might be called a poor man's 'Vette. Notice its MSRP? That's quit a bit less than what the author of the "Lancer Evo MR vs G8 GXP" article predicted it would be. Anyway, I plan to test drive one this spring when they first arrive at my local dealership. I wonder if its exhaust note will be muted, like the G8 GT's is?

Replying to: postulation (Dec 09, 2008 2:08 pm) "Why anyone would purchase the GXP version of the GT is another mystery." To get the manual. I hear where you're coming from, being one who buys 4-cylinder vehicles for their gas mileage. But given those green propensities, I can't readily explain why I now lust over a four-door muscle V-8 with stick. Especially now as we're nearing peak oil. Must've been growing up idolizing a giant kid we all called "Jeep," who had a big bad V-8 (413 cu. in.) Plymouth Fury.
