G8 is a big car designed to offer room and sport.  Kinda like a 5-series minus the luxury.  Challenger is a muscle car through and through.  <br><br>That said, yeah the Challenger is much cooler than G8 and that's saying something considering how sweet the G8 is.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frylock350]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2008 10:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Surprising how well they have kept the interior a secret after all this time.

You better get that G8 off of there then, that thing is no more American than the Pontiac Vibe. Actually the Vibe is more American than the Pontiac G8, at least the Vibe is built in the USA, not Australia like the Half Breed Pontiac G8, (cough, cough) I mean Holden Zeta Commodore .]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gartner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2008 9:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Zeta is a global platform not an Aussie platform.  And second Holden IS GM.  It uses a Chevrolet small-block V8 or a 3.6L V6, both of which were developed here.  It uses Cadillac CTS's RWD 6sp, again developed here.  <br><br>The Vibe is a rebadge of a corolla wagon, which is not designed or engineered here.  The purchase of a G8 is still more American than buying a Vibe, but at least Vibe sales profits go to GM not Toyota.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frylock350]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2008 10:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</guid><description><![CDATA[in the "power players" cover it says "hemi powered street rod 0-60 in 3.9". if those are the numbers for the challenger i think they made a winner. that's FAST! i dont like dodge cars but that deserves some serious respect...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[eddy.gutierrez]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2008 9:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's two different cars.

The picture in the American Muscle cover is a dead ringer for a late 90's Grand Am.  They've been using that grille design for 20 years now.  I think it will hurt G8 sales because, like the GTO, it looks 95% like every other Pontiac.  Dodge overkills that  crosshair design, but a Charger has it's own look compared to the other cars.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[71cuda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2008 10:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/em-car-and-driver-em-covers-let-slip-the-2008-dodge-challenge/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm guessing lots of enthusiasts are going to buy the Holden hood and grille and replace the Pontiac parts.  I know I would have done so, but Lutz the Yutz is going to bring that god-awful 4-door Maloo and NOT the attractive Sportwagon version, so I'm not buying GM.
