I would say that it will be something along the lines of the Caprice… but what do I know. ---

It would be nice is they brought it over as is with no GM cosmetic douchebaggery but I’m afraid that’s too much to hope for. With the Pontiac style dead and buried I’m really worried what this will look like when GM applies a thick coat of GM’s corporate whore makeup. ---

They should have just kept pontiac alive and just made the entire line re-badged Holdens… ---

Since I like the G8…I like this! I miss Pontiac so this will do. Hopefully GM doesnt destroy the look of this either. I do hope they bring the “el camino” / truck holden over Id hit that for sure [http://www.truckblog.com/ai/2008/2815.jpg](http://www.truckblog.com/ai/2008/2815.jpg) ---
