I think that this will be my next car. If not, I'm going to wait for the next bodystyle to come out.........

The only thing that I don't like is that it's the same drivetrain from 2009, which isn't bad, but they are going to put a gas guzzler tax on it. It doesn't have anything to make it more efficient. Also, you got cars like the Dodge Charger SRT-8/Chrysler 300 SRT-8 that has 470hp with cylinder deactivation technology. The interior looks to be 100X better than the G8 GXP. It's a step in the right direction but they need to work on the aging drivetrain and chassis. What do you guys think?????

From what I understand chevy is trying to dump off the rest of the holden commandore vf inventory and if this is successful launch the new body style in a couple of years. Imo this is a big let down for me I'm really not feeling the body especially for the money they want for it. The charger has a better body and drivetrain imo than what they are offering

I actually like everything about the car except for the drivetrain. I like the look and interior because they basically did what I would have wanted them to do with the Pontiac G8 GXP. But, that drivetrain needs to be updated. I wish they had a DSG transmission, and I know this is a wish list but AWD also.

Yeah and the car that I really, really want is the Audi RS5. Because I have a car now that I would use as a daily driver. The Audi would be my weekend car. I know I can't afford it now but in a couple of years and I have some things paid off, I'll be able to get that bad boy. I really, really want that car. I know it's higher than Giraffe p*ssy on the Space Shuttle but I want that car!!

Looks like a Malibu, but a little beefier. Lil Dissapointed, this doesn't come with a manual...I don't even think it comes with Dual Clutch Flappy's. Why have car companies gone so damn soft.

My co-worker said the same thing about it looking like a beefier Malibu. In the taillights it does look like the new Malibu. I love the interior and the lighting. I want to see what it can do against a Dodge Charger SRT-8/Chrysler 300 SRT-8.

It's looks very plain, like a Malibu or Impala. For the price, it might compete against Lexus ES models.
It's not ugly, just nothing wild like a Dodge Challenger or Ford Mustang.

This is meant to go against the Taurus SHO and Hemi Chargers. That's it.
