Pontiac's upcoming G8. I like but think it would look better with out the front hood vents.

 

Glad to see that they didn't name it a "GTO".

 

I think it looks pretty snazzy and also sick with the hood vents! Looks 100% better than anything Pontiac has released in the last 10-20 years! Including the revamed GTO and all the Firebird/TA's. But this is just my opinion. Its about time pontiac has some style and agression to GM's "sport" line.

 

First thing that came to my mind was that this was an Acura TSX with some BMW 3 series add ons.

I'm not sure about this, looks kinda cool but I will need to actually see it up close and personal for a real opinion

 

it will be badass...

cause holden developed it.

 

Have not been a fan of Pontiacs in a long time. This could start to change that.

 

Are they stuffing a V8 in that thing? Is this a Bonneville replacement?

The Pontiac G8 is a rear-wheel drive sedan created by General Motors division Pontiac to be released for the 2008 model year. It is a replacement for the Pontiac Grand Prix, which ceases production after the 2008 model year with one year of overlapping.

The G8 will likely be based on the GM Zeta platform which is shared with the Holden Commodore VE in the Australian market. At the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, GM chairman Bob Lutz confirmed that GM intends to import Holden Commodores into North America as G8's.[1]The news was not planned to be officially announced until the Chicago Auto Show in February. The G8 will become GM's first North American Zeta vehicle. It is unknown how much of the G8's design will be shared with the Commodore, however it is certain that it will be more exciting that its other American counterpart, the 2009 Chevrolet Impala. This will be the first rear-wheel-drive Pontiac sedan sold in North America since the 1986 Bonneville and Parisienne, however there are several rear-wheel-driver offerings on the road already as the Solstice and the outgoing GTO. The size of the car should be about that of most current mid-size sedans on-sale today, comparable to the Dodge Charger and the newer, larger, Toyota Camry. The G8 debuts at the 2007 Chicago

 

Here's a shot from the rear:

 

something about that back end just doesn't look right. I think it's that small tail light assembly, it just seems to destroy the entire flow of the lines on the car.
