Default Test drove the V6 and GT

Handling on both models is fantastic, although suspension is noticeably stiffer on the GT as well as its better stopping power(obviously). I am giving both models serious consideration but kinda have to lean toward the GT given that its only a $2k difference and the gas mileage is almost the same give or take 2mpg (who cares). I would be trading my F-body in on it but with GMS discounts, my GM card earnings, and the APR theyre offering me its hard not to want to do this! But anyways this car is amazing and I can't tell if I'm driving a Pontiac or a 5 series. Highly recommended! I'll post pics if the deal goes through tomorrow.

On a sidenote, dealing with Internet managers is great, I've negotiated about 90% of my deal and really just have to go down and sign the papers. The process is a bit slower due to emailing but all the pressure from sitting in the sales office is gone lol

Awesome. I went and looked at a couple of these, haven't test driven any yet though. I would LOVE for the G8 to be my next car but I JUST paid off my DD less than a month ago, and I'm not sure if I'm willing to part with my Camaro for one. I'm definitely lookin forward to an update if your deal goes through. Good luck!
