Personally, I'd take a G8 over the new gto.

For the same price point, so would I. But the same money buys you a LS2 GTO, or a V6 G8.

New G8's are LS based v8's the GXP is LS3, but they cost so much more that the GT G8

That's true to a point. The base model G8 is a V6. The G8 GT is a 6.0 with 6 speed auto. The GXP is the 6.2 available in 6 speed auto or 6 speed manual. He was comparing the prices of the GTO, which only came with a V8, and the base model G8 with the V6.

A top dollar GTO runs about the same as a base model G8... maybe not even that... and the base model G8 is equipped with a 3.6l V6, not any variation of an LS V8.

If you want to get into a V8 G8, it is going to cost you somewhere in the realm of 6K more than an equal-mileage GTO.. a GXP (only way to get a manual)... basically DOUBLE. Don't get me wrong, I love my autos in my trucks, but sports/muscle cars should have manual trannies unless they're strait up drag cars. Just my opinion.

You are now officially defined GAY.

It's the same car but with FOUR doors. If the GTO was a FAIL (it was sales wise), the G8 is a super fail. GTO, G8, Catera are all the same car with different plastic and crap. If you have to choose, at least get the ONE with two doors.

I'll take a silver 2006 GTO with red interior and M6, thanks.

This is an entirely ignorant statement. The GTO and the G8 have about 4 parts in common... completely different platforms, completely different cars. The Catera and the GTO at least share a platform, but.. Thats really got nothing to do with your post.

And for the record, the red interior looks TERRIBLE, unless you're a 16yo boy.

Really?!

I really don't think you can compare a GTO to a G8. GTO came stick and auto, as said before G8 some kind v6, 90% auto, and 4 different models, base, gt, gxp, firehawk.
