    I purchased a 2009 G8 GT

    I got a hell of a deal through where my brother-in-law works, Darcy Motors in Joliet, IL. Well worth the trip down.

    I love the color...







    So far I'm pretty impressed with it. It's nice to be driving a push-rod V8 again.

    Yea the color is awesome. What type of transmission does that great looking car have ?
    Good luck with it. I bet the interior is amazing.

    That's awesome!!!

    If i were to be buying one, it would DEFINITELY be that color. SO rare to see that color running around. I think i've seen two of them. but it might have been the same person

    The crazy thing is that the car is really cheap (comparatively speaking). How bad is the insurance?
    Buy made in the United States. Otherwise your job might be next. Unless you already wear black shoes and a visor with golden arches on it to work in which case your fellow american has already failed you.

    Msrp was ~34k they gave it to me for 26k. I didnt have to hagle with them at all. I'm glad you're all digging the color as much as I am. I cant wait until spring!

    I'll have to get a Tom Tune for sure.

    Sounds like you got it for GM employee price plus the current incentive. Nice. I'm jealous.
