I was looking at the thread for that wagon on the g8 forum . I too would love to have a wagon and am real interested in the cost of the conversion . It can't be none to cheap to get that done . GM could make this easy on all of us and just build one for the states , I can't see why they would not sale .

I know we're really off topic here but here's the pic of the Maloo conversion that is in our area. Neil's said today it's now gone to it's new owner in Orlando, also a pic of his new (to him!) 09 GXP. Both are nice looking cars....

It's definitely a nice upgrade, I've sat a few people in the new seat and no one's complained. Now the question it generates is.... what to do with the stock rear seat set? :)

make sure when you buy your G8 seat that you get these two parts as well. if you don't the center section has nowhere to latch too

I did an install with gxp seats. Everything went well but I disconnected or severed some wire or another. The dealership said they will hook it back up with not issue, does anyone know what I did wrong?
