Pontiac G8 GXP
I kind of went berserk when I saw this. I have a couple of other G8s on my photostream, and I've noted that this piece of australian engineering has long been a dream car of mine. But to date I've only ever photographed base G8 sedans or GTs. The GXP(with its 415hp LS3 V8 sourced from the Corvette) was a car I thought I might never get a chance to see, much less photograph. I had a point-when production of the G8 ended last year, less than 2000 had been built. The thing is practically an exotic.
Low and behold, here I am leaving a seafood restaurant in Boston with family when I spot this gem just sitting in the mall parking lot all by its lonesome!
If you're lucky enough to live in the Middle East, England or Australia/New zealand, you can still buy this car as either a Chevy CSV CR8, a Vauxhall VXR8, or a Holden HSV Clubsport R8. If you're like me and you're just a hapless Holden lover stuck in the US...take a good look. They aren't coming back.
