> [@POOPRA](#): > > Wheres krant, the G8 wagon is right up his alley Counting down the days before I can put a deposit on one. RWD 6spd V8 wagon, FHUK YEAH!!!I was going to update the thread on dubsinthebuff, but I think I am the only one who is giddy about the G8. Yes, [LS1gto.com](http://LS1gto.com) has a G8 section and the news of the Ute and wagon was leaked a bit ago. There are actually some pictures of Utes down under that actually look pretty damn good, especially the HSV versions ---

The auzzies build some pretty nice looking ones I think it would be a perfect car for me. Put a few fork mount bike carriers in the bed and it would be a nice bike hauler. But, I don’t think I could live with not having more interior room so a wagon with a Thule on top would probabally work. I also can not believe that the Ute is coming over, the wagon was/is a huge gamble but i’m glad it is coming over ---

The wagon looks cool, but than can keep the ute. They can stay in the late 60’s and early 70’s because that was the only time they ever looked good. ---

Well since I didnt see anything about it on here (and I searched) I posted it. I just read it in motor trend this month and the G8 wagon is appealing to me.
