[g8gxp]

Well for those of you who have been waiting impatiently, including me, I just saw the official relase of pricing.

Copied directly from jalopnik.

Pontiac today confirmed pricing for the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP will start at $39,995, including $685 destination and freight charges and $1,700 in applicable federal gas guzzler taxes. With 415 horsepower and 0-60 times well under 5.0 seconds, the G8 GXPs is the most powerful production Pontiac ever created and comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission or an optional ($695) six-speed manual transmission. A $900 sunroof option is also available.

Final EPA fuel economy ratings for the G8 GXP are 13 miles per gallon in the city, 20 miles per gallon on the highway.

Here's the full price breakdown for those interested:

$37,610 - base price
$685 - DFC
$1,700 - Federal gas guzzler
$39,995: TOTAL MSRP
$695 - Six-speed manual tranny
$40,690: TOTAL MSRP for MANUAL TRANNY

Enjoy!!!!

DAMN!

Happier with my GT...

[g8gxp]

yeah, looks like I'll have to wait awhile longer to get one at a price i can live with... The 13/20 is also a bummer. I think I would get better mpg in my current car with a hole in the fuel line.....

You could always get a tune and get some MPG back.

I'm still getting one in 2 years :D

That is if they are sill in business, please let them be.

Did they have a dang release date?!?!?!?!

DAMN!

Same here, also why pay 40K for a GXP when you can get a used GT for half the price. Best bet is to wait until later next year and get a used GXP for under 30K.

[99-LS1-SS]

I'm getting one as soon as they come out.

[g8gxp]

Did they have a dang release date?!?!?!?!

LOL, that's killing you isn't it?

Is it obvious? :blink: http://www.g8board.com/forums/images/smilies/eyetwitch.gif

I heard that price from someone in the GM tech center at one of the Vector meets.

I heard that price from someone in the GM tech center at one of the Vector meets.

Did you hear anything else?

[-Ray-]

No, I saw what the gauges are going to look like too. I'm going to be really envious.

[99-LS1-SS]

How long ago did you see them?

[-Ray-]

The 1st Vector meet. I dunno, August?

[99-LS1-SS]

Are they different then the gauges in the photo shoots of the test drives? I'm assuming you are referring to the tach and speedometer.

[-Ray-]

I'm referring to the Atari gauges the '08 GT's have.

[J Wikoff]

If I'm not mistaken, the GXP isn't getting any more gages than the 09 GT.

[99-LS1-SS]

If I'm not mistaken, the GXP isn't getting any more gages than the 09 GT.

I was under this impression too. Do you have info that says otherwise Ray?

[-Ray-]

No. I look forward to seeing what they get.

[99-LS1-SS]

I believe they get nothing. Just like the 09 GT.

[GRRRR8]

I believe they get nothing. Just like the 09 GT.

No gauges for you!

[99-LS1-SS]

COME BACK ONE YEAR! lol

[-Ray-]

I believe they get nothing. Just like the 09 GT.

Then why pay that much for the drivetrain?
I hope for your sake, you are wrong.

[99-LS1-SS]

The way I see it is that I'm paying for the manual transmission, LS3 and a kick ass 4 door sedan. The rest is gravy.

[nosbusa1500]

So $41590 loaded including sunroof before dealer markup. I wonder how much a dealer will add to the list price if they are only getting a few?

[g8gxp]

Wait 6 months. Guaranteed they won't move enough of these. The economy is pretty bad and consumer confidence is down but it's still not the bottom. No one (except the people here) will spend 40 grand on this. If you can't wait well.....hope you've been saving.

[g8gxp]

Actually it's probably not even going to take 6 months. GMinside news just released the latest inventory levels. The G8 has 11,300 unsold vehicles and is estimated that it will take 250 days to sell them off according to november numbers.

Someone please check my math, but according to my calculations this equates to less then 0.70 G8's sold per day in November across all of the dealers. Not pretty.

[nosbusa1500]

I bet dealers won't sit on the GXP's very long. Let's say some dealers get two to four. in Jan-Feb. I bet one or two sell pretty quick. Someone always has money laying around and is looking for the next best thing. Look at the ZR1's.

The dealer has one-two left. I can see some dealers, dealer-transferring their GXP's before selling them for deep discount. They'll lose their hold back, but might gain something that will sell. Especially if dealers have 20 GT's on their lot like one dealership has near me.

[99-LS1-SS]

I tend to agree with nosbusa on the GXP's.
