Default G8 ST badass!?

Am I the only one to think that the upcoming G8 ST is totally badass!! I've always thought I would need a truck one day to carry my ATV or bike..well no need for that anymore!! And of course, I cant wait to put some exhaust work on that thing!!

Seriously, I'm thinking to get one of those in the future over the new Camaro, but I'm wondering what could be the weight of this car. Do you think it'll be lighter or heavier than G8? I guess its going to be pretty much the same..

enjoy the pics;http://www.dieselstation.com/cars/po...2010-a917.html

Wait a minute, I just realize there will be no manual offer on G8s except the GXP; screw every G8 model and I'm getting the new Camaro just for the manual!!...GM is stupid sometimes..

Can you say el camino.

As for it not having a manual you have to remember this is a 4 door not your 2 door sports car. It is a performance sedan. I know you can get one in a BMW and other 4 door performance cars but i think the Auto is the only way to go in the G8. That way the wife can drive it when you are drunk or as her DD

lol@ the drunk part, but I think every sport car in the world should be offered in a manual version, especially when the manual tranny for it already exist!!

The G8 ST is growing on me, now that I realized I could haul around my dirtbike, if the bed's big enough. How big is the bed exactly?

If the GXP comes with a M6 (which it will be) then why can't you simply convert your non GXP G8 or ST to a manual?
