Of course, that will probably go to 8 grand next month. Anyway, I drove the G8GT some time ago and liked it a lot. It does not have the "gotta have it" factor like the Camaro but if I really cared about that, I would have bought a Mustang instead of the GTO.

Decisions, decisions
The G8 is a fantastic driving car. It feels smaller and more nimble than it really is. It is easier to drive than the Camaro, due to the better visibility in all directions. Performance wise, the SS is definitely quicker though. I test drove a GXP G8 for an article, it was very similar to my SS in feel and handling. If you need the 4 doors, get the GXP. I'm pleased with the G8 GT though. It doesn't get nearly the gawk factor of the Camaro, but it is arguably the best GM sedan made for the pricetag now. I paid $27K for my G8, MSRP was $34K.
