Too bad it probably won't come to the States.

thats like putting an m6 engine in a 240, that would be some crazy shit.

Very nice wheel fitment for a stock car. Instead of crushing all the ones they catch street racing they should sell them to America. :bigok:

Just put a shitty front bumper on it and it will be the G8 over here.

I'm so happy this new car has a regular manual shifter instead of stupid paddle shifters.

is it me or is the rear kinda high?

maybe just me.

I like the car overall, minus the rear height that's all.

I'm just kinda picky like that I guess.

Nope, that's technically the replacement for the Grand Prix.

You muddafakka, I was gonna post this cause Holden is doing the damn thing at the Melbourne show.

You missed the even doper car though. 2008 HSV W427. It has the Z06 Engine. This is essentially our G8, so that means the LS7 fits in our car.

Nope, that's the G6 in that pic. The replacement for the Grand Am. ;) The G8 replaces both the Grand Prix and Bonneville.

The G5 is the replacement for the Sunfire.

Get the nomenclature?

Well, you can buy a 4 door version of it now. You'd have to petition them to actually MAKE the coupe version first. That is only a concept at this point. BUT, with how BA Holden is, it'll probably get made.

Here's the new 2008 FPV F6. Shit is so cool. Ford really does need a good RWD chassis for America. No three bar front grill shit either.

Yeah I saw that as well...pretty sweet.

And Ford is too stupid to bring over anything from Australia. If they do, it would certainly be nice but I could only hope they don't water it down.

The good news is the Bill Ford said that by 201? they will have one design language throughout the world. So we'll see. I think we'll see more the "Kenetic" design language though. I'm looking forward to our "Bold" three bar design language hitting the road (no pun intended).
