.... but its still the G8 GT. Metalic Gray (dark Silver).
we pick it up at 4-5pm today. i was sold when i saw one last week at the local dealer but it was white. we wanted to look at all the colors first. today we saw the dark gray, red and orange. i wasnt intrested in black as a daily driver. white looks nice and red looks pretty good for red, but when we saw the dark silver, that was what we liked the best. we made one mistake though...... we drove it. wow, its a really nice car and i think it will put a large dent in the BMW sales. very large trunk and back seats. the front seats are ungodly comfortable. i couldnt believe i was in a GM. anyways..... look for a for sale add for the 98Z i have. |

Pontiac is showing upper 20's though. If you an squeeze out around 30, I'm all over one for my new commuter car. C6s can get that, and that's what I keep coming back to. |

I am looking for something newer that I don't have to worry about crashing a rare car (92 B4C) and something with A/C that works (as opposed to the 88 TII), but still gets decent mileage (25+ MPG). I know I could settle for a Honduh, and a V-6 Quaalude could probably run with the best of them, but I still have problems with FWD. I've queried friends who drive C5s and C6s, and many are capable of around 30 MPG on the highway. Heck, one friend is getting 28 out of his C6 Z06 at 80!! While looking at different cars to get, I keep comparing them to the C6. Heck, I don't need more than 2 seats, so a C6 is perfect, and last year's models are priced right, too. While I am probably going to end up with one, I'm interested in other stuff out there. I'm still looking at the Kappa turbos, and will be real interested in the G8, if the mileage is up there. |
