Why does that site not open for me? Thanks for the direct link, BigPontiac.

Also...wtf is with the 6.0l V8 discrepency?

Thats a beautiful shot of the car in that brochure too. I thought the horsepower rating was set at 362? What is this 355+ stuff?

Where is this brochure of which you speak?

[Flybrian]

2008 Pontiac full-line brochure. Its thick, like 100+ pages.

I will also say this - the GXPs do not look nearly as bad as those original studio photos GM released made them out to be. Even with the Street Pack gaudiness (scoops and hammerhead spoiler), its not terrible. Without those, I'd say attractive even. The illustration in the brochure is much better.

Agreed, I was using the 360 feature last night at the site, rotating a G6 GXP coupe (sans stupid wing) in all the colors, and it looks pretty sharp, the sedan too.

Its at any Pontiac dealer. Just walk on in and grab one off the rack.

If they made a 2dr hardtop like the 5th gen. Camaro I might seriously consider buying one new.

As it stands maybe used in a few years.
