Here is the G8

[AlmostFamous]

And it looks like GM is leaving the vehicle alone unlike the changes from the GTO concept to GTO production vehicle. Thankfully they went with the recessed grill and not the fullblown pontiac one. The grille looks almost BMWish. Plus they left in agressive body lines and hood from the Holden Commodore. Good job GM for getting things right.:thumb:

All I can say is damn.

[RoMoCOP]

its going to look like a holden commodore. the gto is just a rebadged holden monaro. freaking cheap us auto makers

[zerinVR6]

Having seen the full photos of this car, I can say that Pontiac has a hit on their hands. Though they are dubbing the car officially a 'concept', it looks like about 95% of what will be shown will make production.

Based off of a guess, do you think that one is the GXP model concept?

[Mobil1]

:eek3:

Full shots?

[Limeade]

Holden makes some FAST cars. Think corvette engine or TT6

[AlmostFamous]

:eek3:

Full shots?


Let's hope it looks along the lines of this custom Holden Commodore.

You're right, screw those bastards for giving us a V8 sedan with 400 horsepower, a 6 speed, good looks, and a flair for the dramatic!

[zerinVR6]

The concept is GT Trim.

[Enron Exec]

I think the RRP stands for reccomended retail price. $60k Australian is about $46.4k US.

I like the looks of the car. And with a LS2 in them maybe that 3k i have saved up on my GM card wont go towards a new Vette. :hsugh:

Prices will start in the mid 20s for a V6, and top out at the Mid-30s for a loaded GT model. 368hp, RWD, LS2.

[syntheticGT]

You gotta be freekin kidding me.

Now Ford just needs to bring it with the Falcon. hehe!

[1989 DX R]

Now that's a damn good looking car. V8, sedan, styling like the balls. I want.

[AlmostFamous]

And there's going to be a Buick version of the G8.

[atxsbigwalt]

[1989 DX R]

That's a shop, and a bad one at that.

[VolksFaggin]

I like the Buick one better. Grill doesn't look like 2 farty porkchops.

Just saw something, RHD Buick:confused: ??

[AlmostFamous]

No, its not. It's a Buick they sell in China and in the Middle East. That's suppose to be the new generation vehicle. Here's the current generation one.



http://img.drive.com.au/drive_images/Editorial/2005/05/02/2hsv_leadimage.jpg



It's based on the Holden Commodore and Buick is suppose to get a version of it.

Buick U.S. is suppose to get one. Hench, a Buick version of the G8.

[AlmostFamous]

Damn nice! GM needs to just re-badge everything.


Why not. They make very good, quality vehicles oversea's with great interiors. The G8 is better in everyway when compared to the Grand Prix it's replacing.

[Vincent]

That's pretty much what I meant.

[Mycah Leonhart]

Damn nice! GM needs to just re-badge everything.

Oh they are, Don't worry - I've been telling ya'll this for 2 years now lol

Pontiac = Holden
Saturn = Opel/Vauxhall
