"G8 will come with a choice of V6 or V8 engines, including a 6.0-liter 362-hp, 390-lb-ft V8 coupled to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission."

The 362 hp engine is the engine available in the Aussie version. I would think the V8 would be a derivative of the LS3.

:hmm:

Is Pontiac due for some styling changes?

Or do you just mean you look forward to seeing what the Commodore SS looks like as a Pontiac?

[Jack Daniels]

Holy hell, it seems like this is like the third or fourth thread about this in the last few days. Why won't GM just confirm it already?

Per the article,

This will be GM's second try at selling a rebadged Holden model as a Pontiac in the United States. The Holden Monaro was marketed as the Pontiac GTO for the 2004 to 2006 model years. Sales did not live up to expectations.

The only reason the GTO faltered at all is because they uglied it up and didn't market it enough. If they would just bring the car over and switch badges without fucking with it, the cars would get more looks.

I rather get the Caprice!

And you know they're going to redesign that Holden, so expect the same thing.

I don't care about any of that really. I hope for GM's sake that they sell well, but I just want a V8 RWD sedan for my wife and I'm not buying a DC POS.
