I know this isnt a truck but I was on a lil road trip to go to some bike dealers with a buddy of mine and saw the new G8 at a dealership. I had bought my first GMC there and the same salesman let us take it for a spin. This thing rocks, it may be a four door but it shure dont feel like one. i personally think that it looks nicer than the goat. The tip tronics isnt to bad but you cant get a six speed, at least not yet. The car moves quite well and drives great. We went out and gave it all at had four about 4-5 miles and its a blast to drive just wish it was a standard. Oh and sticker was only 31,000, not to bad considering sticker on my truck was 36,000+. Id recommend it.

 

Oh yea it was the 08' GT with the LS2 six speed auto.

 

They have the L76 engine, a 6.0 L92 headed version of the LS2. And yes, you are right....Awesome car for the money.

 

Right on, I can't wait to take one for a spin. I have a Grand Prix that is getting a little long in the tooth, and a G8 GT would make a nice replacement. By the time I'd need one, the six speed manual should be available though.

 

i checked the specs. and the 3.6 and 6.0 get the same capable gas mileage.

 

Hehe..no brainer then!

 

bastards, making me want the damn car EVEN more.... badass looking car, cant wait to drive one, but it would be kinda hard to part with the truck to get into a car, not very practical as i haul things a lot.... thinking about it though lol

 

hey if you want a six speed, just wait till the G8 GXP comes out. Its gonna have the LS3and a Tremec 6060.

 

That would be awsome, wish I didnt have so many toys that I have to tow around, unless i got a hitch lol. You have a site I could check out where you got that info?

 

I have a feeling you can still haul something...
