Here it is in Pontiac skin and it looks 
:
Pontiac G8 Coupe
In fact I think it looks way better than the sedan version.

Forget this guys it was killed months ago.
The future for Pontiac lies in Delta II and Alpha plaforms. The Alpha is RWD and will only be 4 and Six cylinder. But look for Tubo's in each.
GM anounced the first Alpha as a small Caddy to slot under the CTS. More will follow on this platform as Zeta tha under pinned the Holden and G8 will faze out earlier than planned.
I also expect a 6 Gen Camaro to be planned on the Alpha if demad for the Camaro remains strong for it and the Mustang.
The new CAFE regs has changed the whole game.

There are rumors that GM loses significant $ on the Solstice and Sky and they will be discontinued. GM needs to build high volume sales cars. ie, fuel efficient, that will utilize capacity and provide profits to the bottom line. Enthusiasts don't make up enough of the market for this to come here.
Also, they have Americanized that Holden and put a bowtie on it. It's called the Camaro and it'll be out in February.

to whoever said this was the GTO, you're almost right. the GTO was indeed a Holden, but this is a coupe-variant of the Commodore (G8 here) while the GTO was the Holden Monaro. either way, i don't see this coming here. as stated earlier, enthusiasts aren't a big enough part of the market for this to be economically feasible to bring here. and Cleveland, not sure about the coupe, but the G8 GT sedan is just a hair over 4000 lbs. as for the Sky and Solstice, last thing i read, it was still a questionable fate for those two, as yes, they are losing a fair bit of money on each one sold, so they need to find a way to make them cheaper to produce, or sell them for more, if the models are going to continue on.
