I dint buy a new GP...the sig is just a fantasy car...I can chop pics a lot cheaper than I can buy cars laugh

...back to topic, since the G8 is slated to replace the GP...does this also mean some version of the Holden cars is also scheduled to replace the Impala and Monte Carlo as well?

Hmm. There goes the idea that the Impala will go back to being a family luxury muscle car.

In a priceless move for GM at the Chicago Auto Show set, they had a video of the G8 playing while everything was being set up. Someone captured these pics from the video.

Why not? I think they're kinda sharp. Granted too small, but sharp looking.

I goota admit that last shot of the front end looks much better than the sneak peek.

my friend sent me a text message today about GM unveiling the G8 Today at the chi auto show, and that they killed the GTO. Is this true?

The GTO was eliminated last year due to the Monaro going away......

Here are some pics of the G8 from the Chicago show.

My opinion: Get rid of the chrome in the tailights and make the Pontiac grill smaller. That's the only flaws I could find. It's definately muscular looking.

I love the front esp. the ram air hood. The rear needs to lose the "altezza" type brake lights and the spoiler needs to be full width.

x2. I hope it's standard and isn't a money-grubbing option.

IMHO, they should use the tails they used on the last revamp of the Monaro/GTO. laugh

looks like PFYC will be adding another store to the list...a little aftermarket support and this is gonna be a hot ticket I think...wish there had been a full side shot.
