The specifications on the new 8-speed transmission in the GT says that it is modular, and designed to support all-wheel drive without changes in length, so this is likely to make all-wheel drive available eventually on the GT. Most of the info I've found implies that won't happen until late summer or fall 2010. Most articles are also kind of mute about whether ... Read More...

If you are really getting this car for $100 over dealer invoice minus the $2,500 ... Read More...

Does this make a big difference? It looks like their warranty lasts until 8/30/2010 ... Read More...
