That's a lot better, although still kinda bland.

Rear.

And I think the Chevy version looks as good as the Pontiac as well.

*I'm actually looking at a G8 GT with the wife right now*

Those Chevys all looks the same to me. Enthusiasts might be interested but what about those cars is going to attract the average buyer?

I think I can answer this because I'm kinda in this class right now. My wife and I decided we want a full size car, rear wheel drive, with a V8 and four doors. So what are our options?

Caddy CTS ( only the CTS V with an 8cyl / too expensive )
Dodge Charger/300
Ford Crown vic (not an option / hate it)
BMW 5 series (too expensive)
Pontiac G8 GT

I am not an enthusiast and this car will be for my wife. After driving our 2.0L mazda PR5 for the last 6 years we want some more engine. The fuel economy for V6 engines is literally 1mpg better then their v8 counterparts for most brands with highway mileage occasionally better due to cylinder management systems.

I'm with ya though. We may be the minority as everyone is looking for the most fuel efficient cars out there. My wife's commute is 10 miles a day, literally nothing. The primary function of this car will be the family ride. So why not have some fun?

I am hoping you're talking about classics from the 60's, otherwise I don't see why they would buy them.

no eighties and up. literally every other car you see on the highway or more is some model of caprice
