Judging from the pics I've seen of the G8, I think it will be a big hit and I like it better than the Charger in terms of styling.

If I remember the specs right it was nearly as heavy as my L.

Still, a nice car for a family man or business man who needs room to take clients around while still having a car that can be fun to step into.

its not a bad looking car at all... it does weigh almost 4000lbs though, but with the 6.0l's aftermarket, we'll proly see a few badass ones

and at least GM is trying to give ppl perfomance options, unlike other companies that force you to buy a 50k sled

Any full size 4 door car with a v8 today is gonna weigh at LEAST 3700# and most likely more.

I don't know what the big deal is

All fully loaded (500 only one without v8)

crown vic 4129#
500 3814
300 4160
charger 4160
Impala 3712

Heavy, but good looking.

Just like yo mama. :fart: :D

With those specs, I would expect it to any of the 5.7L Chrysler LX sedans. Not a bad offering from GM.

Pricing should be comparable to a Grand Prix GXP, maybe a little more. :shrug:
