New Pontiac G8

Has anyone else here checked out the Pontiac website lately and seen the G8? Looks pretty impressive to me, hopefully the price is right so it doesn't bomb like the GTO did. More info is available on the Pontiac website...here is a pic

Looks a little like a CTS.

Now that you say it I can definitely see that! I wish they would re-design the Grand Prix, it is long overdue.

Here's a bunch more for anyone who's interested.

If you dig around a little there's also a lot of good info on that site about the new Camaro.

love it!

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!

The lines look *very* similar to the upcoming 08' CTS. Looks pretty good from that picture.

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

I really like it. It is actually a Holden VE Commodore

My bad, I just saw someone already stated that.

They are replaceing the GP with the G8.

I think this is a big step forward for Pontiac and GM as a whole. The hood scoops might be a little too much for my tastes, but overall its a sharp looking vehicle.

+1 yea I have been following this on gminsidenews and cheersandgears.com.

to start at 25,000 for base V8 to start at 28,000 not too bad get alot of car their.

wiil be my next vehicle most likely.

I want one of these!!!

Too bad the Pontiac logo and grille can make any car instantly uglier. GM REALLY needs to change up the Pontiac design DNA.
