Pontiac Reinvents Itself: 2008 Pontiac G8 GT by Inside Line

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=124876?

The conversation went something like this: "Hey, Steve, come by with the Bee. Let's see how it stacks up against this 2008 Pontiac G8 GT."

Motorhead Steve lives up the street. His dad was a Dodge dealer back in the 1960s. The guy knows option codes from the muscle car era like they're his kids' names and has a tattoo on his left forearm that reads "Mopar is Mom." More important, he just bought himself a screaming yellow 2007 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee. We knew he wouldn't hesitate.

@masterjedi89 Bear in mind that in 2013, Holden are returning to America, this time wearing Chevrolet badges. The Lumina and Caprice have both been sold in in the Middle East as Chevrolet badged Holdens. The rumours now are that they are going to be allowed to hit the streets in the US under thse badges as civilian cars, not just police cruisers

@DHREVOLUTION That could have something to do with the fact aussie saloons have clean lines like the german cars have.

American cars looks are more often over-stated and can get quite vulgar looking and lacking in style.

Aussie tastes are far more like the europeans and we prefer under-stated looks to flashy garbage.

I'm not a Holden fanboy because I own a aussie FPV fg F6 310, so I'm a Ford man but I admit Holden still make a excellent car even if it isn't as good as mine.

@hsv271 I prefer the front actually. I don't like the HSV or the regular Holden fronts. It's too overdone and look at me.

[DHREVOLUTION]

does anyone else think it looks like a bmw?
