GM CEO Says No Chance For Pontiac G8 GXP Survival As Chevy, Caddy
We know you wanted to see the fantastic Pontiac G8 GXP survive as something with a bowtie (Chevy Impala SS perhaps?), but GM CEO Fritz Henderson's shuttered that door today in a web chat saying "no chance." So sad.

Pontiac G8 GXP Laps Nurburgring In 8:30
Like seemingly every other GM product to be launched in the last year, the Pontiac G8 GXP’s handling was tuned on the Nurburgring. There, while being driven by development engineers (and not a professional race driver), it set a ring time of 8:30. That sounds pretty good, especially given the badge the G8 GXP wears on its nose and its price: expected to be just under $40,000 including gas guzzler tax and destination fee. But how good is it?

2009 Pontiac G8 GXP, First Drive
If I were to tell you GM is the new BMW you’d probably laugh at me. But driving the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP just a couple of months after the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and Corvette ZR1, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. Equipped with a 6.3-liter, LS3 V8 making 415 HP and 415 lb-ft of torque, the G8 GXP isn’t just the fastest car Pontiac's ever made, but based on GM’s new global rear wheel drive platform (the same one as the new Camaro) and fitted with lower, stiffer suspension and a six-speed manual gearbox it strikes the right balance between supercar performance and real world practicality. Think E39 M5, but with a Corvette engine and better steering. More » -

2009 Pontiac G8 GXP Revealed, Gets Corvette LS3 Power And A Manual Transmission
Wow, how prescient were we to know to repeat the prescience of High Performance Pontiac magazine? Hmm, probably about as prescient as they were to have posted on the new 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP to begin with. But we digress as we're now officially able to tell you all the details on "the flagship" of Pontiac's GXP performance series, the G8 GXP. So what makes this four-door the tip-top of the Pontiac pinnacle of performance? How about the 6.2-liter LS3 engine from the 2008 Corvette? No, that doesn't do it for you? How about a manual transmission? Yeah, we thought so. Hit the jump for the full release and all the details. More » -

2009 Pontiac G8 GXP Coming Soon? High Performance Pontiac Magazine Gives Us Their Wish List
The Pontiac G8 GT commercial we showed you very early this morning was good at tightening the pants of any auto lover with a joy for recreating classic 80's Midway games. But there's still been some criticism of the arrow-headed brand over their neglect of the stick as well as some who believe the General's "performance brand" may not be driving excitement as much as they'd wish it to be. Well, the rumor on the street — and by street we mean the web pages of High Performance Pontiac magazine — is that Pontiac will be looking to bring to market a Pontiac G8 GXP for the 2009 model year. They're speculating"There is plenty of evidence out there hinting to a future G8 GXP, one with a more powerful V8 and maybe a six-speed manual."
In addition, they've got a list of what they'd like to see in an eventual GXP, which we've provided after the jump: More »
