I beleive the basic archeteture this car was is built on was designed with AWD in mind. for those who were interested, the commodore is available with to 3.6L global V6 engines (180kw,330nm and 195kw,340nm) and a 6.0L L98 V8 (270kw,530nm) This car should offer incredible performance/equipment for money.

From Drive Magazine: We are seriously planning to import a lot of Commodore SS sedans as Pontiac G8s," Mr Lutz said, adding that Holden could export up to 50,000 Commodores a year if the model was priced correctly. |

It is a shame that G.M. is going to ruin this beautiful car by Pontiacing it, and they wonder why they keep losing market share. If they can't bring it over as is they needn't bother. You would think that they would have learned some sort of lesson when they ruined the Manaro by converting it to a GTO. I guess we will soon find out.

From Auto Week: "The Holden Commodore SS will be called the Pontiac G8 and priced around $25,000, according to the Herald Sun in Melbourne, Australia. " Althought the next paragraph has Lutz stating, " The volume range is 30,000 to 50,000. It depends on how we price it.." |

From Detroit Free Press: "Production of a second-generation model with unique Pontiac styling should begin at GM's plant in Oshawa, Ontario, in 2009." Unique Pontiac styling? Uh oh.

Replying to: bob1967 (Jan 11, 2007 5:27 am) Autoweek is reporting a V6 and 362hp V8 will be available with 6 speed auto and manual. Sounds good to me, especially if the price range is $25k to $33k or so.

Replying to: 1487 (Jan 16, 2007 6:59 am) It needs some of that 08' CTS Gadgetology at least as options even if the price goes up $3-4K it would be worth it. Rocky

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 16, 2007 8:46 pm) I have heard rumors of a version for Chevy coming over here. Perhaps the Chevy can be my simplified version and you can get the gadgeted-up Pontiac.
