    Default Potentially good news

    Within the next few weeks you will probably start being able to order the GXPs. I talked to someone today about pricing and he didn't know for sure but he was under the impression that they GXP will come in between $35K and $38K. I really hope he is accurate.

    I'm getting ready to put my $500 deposit on one today. He said they probably won't be on the showroom floor until mid to late January. I'm fine with that.

    I've changed my wants a little. I want a loaded liquid red, automatic with the painted rims. I want to be able to paint the rims a different color if I choose to.

    ^ lol I hope not for your sake.

    Well, I parted with the $500. Now it's just a waiting game. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas. With the small exception of having to pay for my own presents. lol

    My options in order of importance.

    Liquid red
    Manual
    Black interior (no inserts)
    Sunroof
    Painted wheels in case I want to paint them (I'm not worried one way or the other on the wheels)

    Does anyone know if they'll have any wheel options other than the hideous spider web spoke style seen on the show car? I'd rather have the 19" wheels from the GT Sport package myself.

    I'll trade ya mine...I loved the show car rims and was a little disappointed that they didn't put them on the GT...
