@slrcarroll42 So far, there has been only one coupe version, the Coupe 60 concept car by Holden. You will have to lobby GM USA to put the case for a coupe. The coupe market in Australia is a lot more volatile than it is in Australia, so to make it economically viable for Holden to build them, they have to have a solid market for them.

You're pretty much right Matt. In America, however, we only get the performance versions and up(the SS, SS-V and HSV equivalents). GM also only brought about 35,000 G8s to our shores, so in the US its actually a pretty rare car-you'll go months without seeing one.

This is what gives the Americans an impression of a higher status attached to the car than Australians themselves give to it. Nobody here aside from hardcore enthusiasts is aware of its true origins.

The bandit: Matt is right, in Australia(and to a lesser extent, the middle east where it is a Chevy Lumina) the Commodore is commonly seen as a Taxi and police vehicle. It is to Australians what Camry's, Accords and Impalas are to Americans: Just a run of the mill ubiquitous sedan(and wagon).

They pay about as much attention to them as we do to the Chevy Impalas we see here.

Your pontiac has exactly the same body as our VE commodore. apart from different grill. In Australia we use them as taxi's and police cars. so fuck you and your ignorance you yankee monkey fuck.

[TheBandit77TransAm]

actually the Holden Commodore doesn't hold a candle to the Pontiac version, and the g8 is more commonly known, you dumb bimbo. And since when has these ever been Taxis or police cars? You're thinking of a ford Crown Vic or a Chevy Caprice. Go back to school, little child.

ok figured it out, the v6 g8 get the standard SS rims on it. and the v8 G8 gets the V series rims.

[soniqLCD]

nice ride, i got the same thing but HOLDEN SS ... i thought the pontiac g8 rims were different from the holden SS wheels? .... i have them rims on my SS.

[axstoro]

Its already out for sale. I got one sitting in my drive way right now.

Now the G8 GXP is another story. It might not come out, the dealership I went to said it'll be out by February, but also said that GM has been pushing back the date. Either way... I'm trading in my GT when/if the GXP comes out.
