This or That 5

[Exage03040]

Welcome to This or That; Where I choose 2 vehicles (but probably can't afford) and you choose which one you'd rather have with the poll.
You can explain your choice below, or not.

Last week we had the Battle of Britain: The Monte Mini had 32 over the BRG MG TD at 22.

@pip-bip Didn't want either a the M240i or the XE S in #3, sighting his preference for Australian Domestic Market in the matter. Canada didn't get the Chevy SS so we have to go back to the Pontiac G8, move across the country and go private sale.

To do this right we just had to go V8 and as such I have found this Black 2008 Pontiac G8 GT in Sheffield Ontario that's been slightly modified.

It's challenger 'er competition is a Grey 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8 with it's own Hemi V8 just up the road in Cambridge.

2008 Pontiac G8 GT - $18,000 - 120,000 km / 74565 mi

G8 no question

[Poor_sh]

Lol 6-0 for the gt right now

[ibRAD]

G8, but I wavered. Borla sealed the deal.

[CivicWagonEngineer]

G8 everyday

[Snuze]

I don't hate the SRT, but G8 for me.

[MisterButtercup]

G8 ALLLLLLLLLL the way home.

[HoustonRunner]

Both are autos, so I'll go with the cushier ride. If the G8 was a manual it would be no contest.

[flatisflat]

@exage03040 'De-murder' the G8 and you've got a real winner.

[davesaddiction]

@exage03040 I may be biased. OZ for the win.

[interstate366]

G8. I got to drive one a few times at the shop in the past couple weeks. The want is strong.

(Me: “I want a G8” Also me: has a mid-size RWD sedan he’s planning to V8 swap)

[WhoIsTheLeader]

That price is what I'd expect to pay for a MANUAL G8 in that condition, but the autos seem to be less valuable. They're both crack pipes but I'd take the G8 and do a trans swap and vastly increase its value.

[CobraJoe]

Voted SRT8.

The G8 is likely the better performance car, but the SRT8 has a certain "This is unnecessary, but cool" appeal. (Plus, it's quicker to 60 and has more HP).

[interstate366]

@whoistheleader prices are CAD. That’s about average for a G8 GT after the conversion from what I’ve seen

[jminer]

I almost voted wrong as the order in the poll was backwards of how you listed them

G8 all the way though!

[Highlander]

That took me all of 0.02 seconds to vote for the G8.

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@interstate366 Oh, duh, didn't even realize that.

Wait, what conversion?

[e90m3]

@whoistheleader They only offered the g8 GXP with a manual option, and those are rare.

[Just Jeepin']

Voted SRT8 just to be contrarian, and because I know nothing about either.

[Chariotoflove]

@exage03040 It would have been harder with the later gen 300, but with this pair of cars, G8.

[barnie]

@just-jeepin Yea, kinda hoping for a 3rd option like "Don't care" or some sort of Cowboy Neal (of slashdot fame) reference on these polls.

I was going to tag you on this.

It's done this to me twice now. I enter the options is in order of my list and for some reason it occasionally switches the order. Not every time either and I can't edit the poll after the drop.

"Option C" or what you'd rather have is what you post and then I may make a poll on your choice. I have done this with 2 members now with a 3rd up next (if I'm not back to work).

The poll engine definitely has some issues. I hadn't seen it do that though. I'll take a look.
