I just got done reading the latest Motor Trend that came in today's mail. I like alot of what's coming out. The Pontiac Grand Prix G8 caught my eye. It's got AWD, and a 5.7 LS-1 V8.

PCAddict,

You're kidding right? Lose the Hood scoops, random body scoops and pick up a sequential 6-speed gearbox and then we're set. As is...it's totally americana, which is yucky.

My subscription to Car and Driver stopped long ago, so I've forgotten many of the concept cars that I found attractive. I remember being stunned by the first Oldsmobile Aurora. I still am.

Nope, I am not kidding. It's got potential. I agree do agree with your suggestion for a 6-speed tranny.

There are flashier and more impressive concept cars out there. But, this is something I'd like to own/drive in my area. To me, there's nothing wrong with Americana.

All Pontiacs except for the Grand Prix suck. They are all overblown with flashy bits and side cladding and cheap grey interior trim.

Usually I refuse to be baited by NFS4 :D

A front wheel drive?? Over a T/A with the same quality interior, a V8 and a 6 speed MANUAL transmission??

Puleez.

Ill be fair though, this was about concept cars. Ill judge the G8 on its own merits.

Porsche Carrera GT.

It may not look exactly like that when it hits production, so I'm gonna call it a concept car.:p

How about the California Cavalier?

Though I despise the current Cavalier/Sunbird platform in general, you gotta admit that 300HP in a Cavalier translates in to one serious &quot;pocket rocket&quot; ...

I don't have a link for the G8. I just saw it in Motor Trend.

Ford is coming out with a Bullitt Edition Mustang. Most of us are too young to appreciate the history, though.
