It's an optical illusion and it works in the Charger's favor. That wide front grill and headlights make it a appear wider with a more aggressive stance. The vertical lines on the G8 produce a much narrower look. The Charger looks more aggressive (and appealing imo) because of that.

ok, so quick question... is the G6 like the Grand Am? and the G8 like the Grand Prix? just compaired performance diffrence and option diffrences

Yes, and G5 is the Sunbird/Sunfire.

I just saw that link that Muldiven posted... OMG that is sexy!!!!!! I want the G8!!!!

When's that beast due out? And which one of us is going to be the first one to get it? Should we start a betting POOL? I see standard auto trans for V8. Is there a manual available? What about that V6 engine. How does that compare to our GTP engine, I see HP is higher stock.

well i know i wont be one of the first , but Ill just keep wishin..... who will it be?

Shoot, if it has manual V8 and the price ain't out the roof just to the roof, I may be considering.

I wish our cars were available with a manual... thats what i was looking for when i was shopping around, but I test drove the GP, and fell in love with it right away... We can pray for a manual option V8 *drool*

I think the G8 is going to be a worthy successor to the GP...I will miss the name badge cuz "G8" doesnt get my blood pumping but the comparison chart is pretty convincing. I am very much looking forward to seeing the car up close at NYC, but I do have to go along with Arcxnus on the taillights...the euro altezza crap has to go (IMO) I like the front and the dual scoop hood but it needs a more aggressive rear spoiler (probably on a GXP model) and I'm no big fan of silver/gray body color...the styling of the interior is actually nice looking but the color choices blow chunks. (ebony leather and red is more my speed...along with a jet black paint job)...all moot for me really cuz I aint about to pony up $30k for any car.

Two engine options
3.6L DOHC V6 260hp with 5 speed auto
6.0L OHV V8 362hp with the option of 6 speed auto w/tap shift or 6 speed manual.

Keep in mind the LS2 won't be around much longer. Looks as if GM is developing a 6.2L for a replacement.

Also it looks like GM will let you add options to the base model that the GT will have so buyers can have all the looks they want but keep the smaller "more economical" engine.
