I am having a baby relatively soon so I need to upgrade to a bigger car... My 2 options are a 08-10 Jeep SRT8 or a 09 Pontiac G8 GXP. I want to ask what are your guys opinions, suggestions, or experiences with these cars. Thanks!

I'd go SUV for a baby, just my opinion tho.

Suv hands down when having kids.

Suv all the way. Srt8s are nice too

The GC SRT-8 is nice but can't tow much... 3500 lbs. They really take the "U" out of SUV. Gas mileage is horrible.
I loved my GXP. I could get mid 20's on the freeway with it. Made 440/454 to the tires with strictly bolt ons. They're super rare too... only 1829 built. Plus, you can get a 6 speed!

Lol I would but I like the all black interior on the 08-10s.
Very curious how's your MPG?

Iceman why did you sell your GXP?

I sold it when I bought my Raptor.

I feel you on that black interior but I got mine with only 30k on the odometer so I jumped on it. I haven't really checked my mpgs lately but I'm sure it's right around 12.5 to 13 since I don't work too far from home lol

I'd go with the g8 my buddie had a gt and man was that thing nice plus you don't see them as often now imagine a gxp! Plus those srt8 aren't as spacious as one would think that back seat can get a little tight!
