Redbeard Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I hope they give it a name and make SS a trim level, but I don't care as long as it has a manual trans and 400 hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbeard Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Me too, but I'm trying to temper my expectations. That way I'll be even more excited when we learn GM did the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDM Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I hope they make it HSV-based like the VXR8 is in the UK, rather than simply Holden-based. Probably unlikely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G8chick Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I wouldn't trade my G8 in on one.. We know the G8 was only made for 2 yrs and during a recession. Who knows how many of these will be kicking around and for how long they'd be produced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how many of these will be kicking around and for how long they'd be produced My G8 is paid for and not going anywhere for a long time. I love everything about it including its rarity. I guess it's just nice to know there will be an option out there if the unthinkable were to happen and my baby got totaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerdan11 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Exciting news after almost 4 years of talking about this. I hate the SS name, I wish they would call it a Chevelle and have an SS as a trim level, but it looks like they are only going to have the V8 and it will be a limited run.

Doug123 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 If they only market it as a performance vehicle, that might be ok. I hope it's a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I can't wait to see it.. Regardless, I plan to always keep mine and love the fact that it's rare.. I hardly spot another on the road.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPDAN Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It will be nice to see them out, but i still plan on keeping the g8 as well. I see one g8 a month on average. Gotta love the exclusivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GXPaycheck Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Station wagon? Sport truck? It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. I wonder if a Pontiac front bumper will fit? And I won't sell my G8!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the Pontiac body parts will fit. It should be based on the upcoming VF Commodore, not our VEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
