Oh man, I'm excited. Why? Because they're finally bringing the gorgeous and well-powered Holdens over here. It's about time we start enjoying what the Australians have for years - I just wish Holden came over here themselves instead of allowing Pontiac to badge their cars. Oh well, just a debadge on the GTO or G8 and they look great again.

I love it even more because manual is finally an option again. Too long have manufacturers catered to our lazy culture with its obsession with autos. A high powered engine like the 6.0 L V8 in the G8 deserves a proper transmission, paired with a proper RWD drivetrain.

I like it, but wouldn't buy one myself since I'm just not looking for a heavy (near 4000 pounds) sedan at this time. Maybe in the future, though!

Yea, wonder how much it wold cost to bring in a holden front clip and hood? It looks much much better than the Pontiac!
