Replying to: subearu (Apr 04, 2007 1:02 pm) I doubt there will be anything new - but if there is, I will report here.... - Ray Hoping if the only G8 is the (apparently) 1 & only 'prototype' Show Car, it will not be on a turntable & guarded ( ? ) by a 'spokesmodel'...

Replying to: socalkid (Apr 09, 2007 9:48 am) Saw the car at the NYIAS, looked good, except for the scoops and of course the nice brakes, rims, and rotors won't be on it in the end. -mike |

i second that emotion - to omit the faux hood scoops like GTO has. i liked the 2004 smooth GTO hood, and the late model camaro smooth hoods. fake scoops are just silly. if they are just vents, it's dumb to make them appear to be scoops. ok, just a little peeve of mine, one of the two things i don't like about my GTO. ok, 3 things. the other two are the spoiler and the lack of cylinder-shutdown for my long highway cruises. |

Replying to: brz71 (Apr 14, 2007 7:49 am) But what point are you trying to make? The new VE Commodore has the steering way forward of the engine. There will not be an AWD version of this car. How many times do I have to tell you guys this? Bit of news in the pipeline is this, They are considering putting some new diesel engine in the Commodore. I know the US is not much into diesel, but Europe is. Opel have said that they want the Commodore. The head honcho there came out here and took a few Commodores for a flogging, he loved it. This diesel is 3 litres and puts out a massive 178kw. It has well over 500n/m of torque. More than the 6 litre V8. Also, your G8 is already going down the assembly line. As is the Poms Vauxall VXR8,(HSV R8). I still can't get over the fact that the Poms are getting HSV's cheaper for what we can get them here. Clarkson and The Stig will be cracking a fat driving this car around the old airport track!
