That car is fkn sexy, but who can justify that price??? What was the MSRP of the LS2 GTO, like 30-32k?
Also, any word on if the base and GT models will have a manual option? The base with a six speed would be tits for my intentions
DAAAAAMN!

40 Grand?!?!?! Are they &#(@ kidding! It's a nice car but still, 40 #*(%(!@ GRAND!!!
Yeah, way to go GM.. It's nice, but not 40K nice.. And you charge more for manual transmission? No wonder you're begging congress for money..

on top of that, the car beautiful from every angle, BUT the rear end of the car from the side view looks like an 04 Gallant. ew.

They could have at least included the sunroof in that price, instead of making it an option.
That car has been my computer background here at work for the last 6 months or so. 40k... worth every penny.
This is not the reason GM needs money, as development had already been done by the Aussies and Germans. Cars like this cost the company little to sell here.

So why not drop the price a little then if it doesn't cost them as much to sell? Maybe then we can see some on the road, instead of sitting in the showroom for months.

even though the car will easily beat the SRT8 models out there , jumping from the GT's price to the GXP's is way to big of a jump , they shoulda kept the price closer to the 35-36k
the LS3 cost wise is probably cheaper than the L92 , from the lack of cyl cut , the 6spd auto is the same , only rear gear change is different in the drivetrain , then the added brembo fronts , and front seats , and mild changes to the suspension
the 6spd manual price im ok with since it is the optional trans and not the standard equipment trans
and whats with the car being out in FEB ????? it was supposed to be in the show rooms already

It's a sad day when one has to pay
more for a manual trans. Still a cool car, though.
40K?? HAH!
For 40k you could get a nice used Vette with very light miles just to name a car.
Also the Interior looks like a freaking coblat interior, cheap as piss! compared to a 40k bemmer or bense interior it looks horridly cheap.
Pimp looking car though

40K huh? i would buy my G35 and throw a supercharger on it for less than that. it comes with a 6 speed manual and its hella more classy on the inside....

i think the auto is supposed to get 10-12 around town and close to 20 on the highway
crazy when you figure out the LS2 gto has close to the same power , was rated at 15-16 around town and 23-24 highway

The GT runs for $32K-35K, so by this being $40K including GGT and destination, it is not a bad deal at all. And the closest competitor... the SRT 300C will run for $46K. So yhea bang for your buck here. And I'm willing to bet it will put up a nice fight with the M5.

Problem here is the Vette only carries two. But this can be your 4-door base Vette for almost $10K less.
Please don't insult this car by saying it has a Cobalt interior, you really have to look at this car up close, you'll be eating those words. Seriously this has to be the best "put together" GM sedan today.
And "bemmer & bense" has nothing on this, especially when it comes to reliability and performance. Hell... a $50+K v6 E350 still has vinyl as standard equipment, leather is like a $1500 option. POS

just fyi
it's BENZ not Bense.
sorry that bugged me. Also i think it's a better built and engineered car than the P.O.S. 300 Hemi SRT at a lower price so that's a plus, but it should only be about 1000 to 1500 dollars more than the GT and should come loaded for $40,000, nothing optional. They fail there.

I think they will sell some, but they aren't going to be rushing off showroom floors by any means. 40k is steep. The dealer near me has been sitting on about 8 GT's for a while. I think my friend said the ones he passes has had the same 5 or 6 out for a few months and haven't moved. Probably more in the back lot. Those are only 31k or something.
Still a nice looking car. I really like the room in the car. I think I like the look of the caddy cts better.

Damn fine car...damn fine! Price is actually really nice considering what you are getting and compared to Benz or BMW with the same equipment! While the quality of American cars once was lacking...they are no longer!
Take a look at the higher end cars being produced today by GM...CTS-V, G8 GXP, ZR1, etc...these are great cars for one heck of a price!
It's just time Americans starting looking again instead of remembering what they saw in the 90s or compare it their econo box of today!
I like and would take one without hesitation...if I were in the market!
Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?

Mr.Goodwrench-G.T. is dead on. The interior rivals most audi's and BMW's. The leather isn't as posh, but the fit and finish is awesome.
One thing people need to realize is that the g8 gt is at ($30k) is already beating Charger/Challenger SRT8 (Starting at $42k) in the 1/4 and all around. Bang for the buck, this is the car to go for in the Large, American, RWD Sedans.
Edmunds has a few decent reviews/comparisons on the G8 GT/GXP and the SRT-8's.
The way I see it. Their are much better cars out there for the 45K mark. We all know that after all the charges this car will be more towards 43-45k if you want one equipped with a few options.
