I think I figured out why the 2nd gen pic thread keeps getting deleted.

That Car and Driver article is URL labled "Pontiac-G8"
I'll bet they had the xB page ready to go for latter but mislabled it. That's why it's out on the web. It was an accident.

WHOOPS!

OOPS!

i wonder who is getting fired, haha

Apparently one of the crafty members here messed with the URL and that's how the pics were attained. THat's what autoblog says anyway.

it wasn't me. lol

good looking car though.

Here is a website with the pictures...
