The car is actually coming in with a L96 engine. This is the same as the L76 engine except with the DOD (deplacement on demand)(automatic valve shutoff).
The word on the street is that the GXP addition will debut next motel year, ie 09 with the Camaro. As the rumor of the GXP is still going around, as is the rumor of the engine. The LS3 is being considered, but the LS7 has also been kicked around. I do doubt the later though! Anyways, I am really looking forward to driving the G8 as soon as a dealer can get one. According to my local dealer, they have yet to receive any solid info on the car, including literature. So for now, a waiting game is to be played...
