I think it would look fine as a Chevy (if done right). That doesn't mean I think the current G8 looks like a rental car, just because Pontiac sells cars to Avis. So does Hyundai, and Chevy. I personally think they did a much better "conversion" on the G8 than they did on the GTO. And I know all about JHP importing Holden front bumper kits into the U.S.; I installed one several years ago on my 2004 GTO. I did a 'shop job myself a while back...

Replying to: nojets (May 28, 2009 4:28 pm) I tell myself a wagon flavor with a stick would make it perfect for me but chances are slim I'd buy it anyway. Be realistic, man. It's no Aztec and you just have no cash or a true need for it. I'm not really trying to offend you but that's how most of the consumers are: cheap, practical and mostly wishful thinkers. |

Replying to: vinnyny (Jun 12, 2009 4:13 pm) I don't like Pontiac styling and it is more than just the surface aesthetics. A Pontiac has a certain style/reputation that I've never been a fan of...I'll take Chevy style with Cadillac (or better) materials over anything. I consider myself a "regular guy" with a taste for quality. I don't particularly want a Pontiac OR Cadillac. Toyota might fit me individually but the average arrogance of it's dealers and/or owners is a huge turn off. Other foreign brands suffer the same issue to varying degrees. So, I will also go with the stance that looks DO matter as does brand. If this were a Chevy, aside from the front-end not being an issue, I would have already overlooked the Aussie quirks inside rather than dwelling on them. It's psychological but it doesn't make it any less "real."
