That was on the cover of Motor Trend a couple months back. Complete with Pontiac badges and all. It's neat looking.

That's not half bad. I'd almost drive one.

I wonder if I can trade my car in on a G8 and a Solstice GXP? Eep, did I just say that?

Just wait until it gets redesigned again with the US market also in mind. Then the Aussies will get to have our FWD shitboxes too. haha

It was designed for the US market with the '06 redesign. Hence "hey, let's sell Commodores in the US now" and not "hey, let's redesign the Commodore for LHD and US safety and emissions specs and overprice it like we did with the GTO!"
