Replying to: m4d_cow (Nov 01, 2009 12:21 am) My understanding is that they were actually planning to build a limited run - from parts already stamped \ assembled in stock & still IN OZ. Planned for installation in G8s that will not now be built & exported to the USA. Specifically, I’d guess, those parts [ hood, front bumper, grill, etc ] that would be the same for left or right hand drive. . . http://www.carpoint.com.au/news/2009/large-passenger/holden/commodore/exclusive-- - pontiac-g8-revived-in-australia-16339 - Ray G8 GT driver. . . |

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 03, 2009 5:00 pm) Is the symbol for OPEL with a horizontal lightening bolt really dorky looking? Or is it just my impression of it and others think it looks modern, cool, up-to-date? I assume the other is VAuxhall with the bird going through the circle. It looks like an old Pontiac hood ornament from the 50s.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 03, 2009 6:06 pm) I always thought it looked like some kind of logo that you'd see in a low-budget 1970's sci-fi movie. Maybe Roger Corman designed it?
