Yeah!! That looks pretty good, wouldn't mind the whole car sitting another inch or 2 in the air but otherwise, not bad. I want to see what the coupe version looks like, I want to see them bring back the old door handle style, like on the 92-96 GPs. I think it started in 92 anyway. I think that'd give the car more of a smooth look on the sides.

No, Motor Trend.
It's the Holden Commadore(sp?) dressed up to be the new Grand Prix.

Wow, it seems a little bit smaller but I love the engine choice.

I think it's the Grand Prix's last hoorah.
Atleast they're letting her go out the way she should, V-8 with RWD.

Hmmm, if this comes to be, I may have to think about trading in my current one smile

I think subscribers get their copies first, then a couple of weeks later it'll hit the news stands.
Notice on the cover, "October 2006"

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 08/30/06 02:11 AM

I read somewhere that this was to be the new G8...I personally think this would be a good idea to have the sedan be the Grand Prix...continue the coupe version as the GTO... and then make the sister car to the new Camaro a Firebird...like it always has been...the thought of building Camaros and GTOs side by side just doesnt settle with me at all.

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 08/30/06 11:04 AM

slurp, slurp -- sorry yall kinda got a drool problem. That is sweet. Was waiting for the new firebird but if this is going to be rear wheel drive then I'll take one for the reason of having four doors. Can add a supercharger later.
ya know................

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 08/30/06 04:17 PM

Don't get your hopes up.

I'll bet there won't be a firebird. And the New G8 won't look anything like what motortrend is showing. I agree with Ordz it does look a little like a big mitsu.

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 09/01/06 11:52 PM

i dont think it will be produced although it would be nice.

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 09/02/06 07:59 AM

Looks like they are following the path of the Chrysler 300. I'd say it looks like a direct competitor; V8, RWD, big sedan.

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 09/02/06 08:11 AM

I had read in High Performance Pontiac that Pontiac was looking into producing a new generation of V-8, rear drive performance cars, said to include a Grand Prix/Bonneville sedan, a new GTO, and possibly the Firebird.
If that Grand Prix does go into production, I wouldn't sweat that front end too much; most people will be seeing its tail lights... devilgrin

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 09/02/06 05:27 PM

I just read the article and given the size of my family I just might have to pass up the Camaro if that car comes on the market smile

Although I'd love it if they brought the longer wheel base model over. The Commodore Caprice.

links to the cars

The next GP?

and the Caprice. would be nice if they had an SSV version.

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 09/02/06 06:52 PM

A new GP and Bonnevile, that'd be nice. I like the Bonnevile look on the older cars so if it's based off of that, I'd be happy...mmmm...2 door GP and 4 door Bonneviles...mmm

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 09/03/06 02:12 PM

I think the Commodore/GP looks kinda short. I would like if they brought the longer version as a GP, not a Bonny. I just like big cars though. I think my next car is gonna be a Cadillac, probably an STS or a DTS. Presidential style. But if they make the Holden Caprice as a GP, I would seriously consider getting that. Just my 2 cents.

Re: HOLY CRAP LOOK!!!!!!! - 09/11/06 06:26 PM

Awesome! I was thinking of getting a 2007 GXP but damn... this looks sweet. I may have to wait and see if Pontiac will really release this for the 2008 model year.
