Shortly after breaking the story that revealed the 2008 Pontiac G8 production numbers, many readers started asking further questions about production. How many G8s we’re shipped to the mid west? How many were V6 vs V8? How many of each color were produced?

As the release of the G8 GXP draws closer, the level of anticipation and inquiries from G8Nation readers continues increasing. After joining our Pontiac G8 forum, member “middle” posted the following question in our “You Ask Pontiac” forum:

KickingTires is stating upfront that the July numbers may be a little misleading due to the mixture of 2008 & 2009 models sharing space on dealer lots. For the most part, there’s an improvement in overall sales from last July.

After 18,000 submissions in the Tame the Name promotion, several months of waiting, polls of G8 enthusiasts and El Camino loyalists, Pontiac has officially announced that new segment-defining G8 Ute will be called the “G8 ST”.

While our sources tell us that the official GXP production has not yet begun, we have some spy shots of a pre-pro G8 GXP that were snapped from a member of the Australian LS1 & Holden Forums.

You may remember the video of the 2008 Panther Black Metallic 2008 Pontiac G8 GT running the ¼ mile at Atco in the mid 12s, while it still had temp tags in the back window.

During July, 2008, GM and Pontiac sold 1,472 G8s. This is down from June sales of 1,536. July had a total of 28 selling days; one more than June.
