Well I know its a Division but it was produced by Holden not Pontiac…

Most of the Pontiacs are just taken from other Makes and re-badged or re-designed.

GTO-Vauxhall  
G8- Holden  
Solstice- Opel GT  
Vibe- Toyota Matrix

and im sure theres more…

GTP trade in is 3k, Neon trade in is 10k on a good day. My initial offer was $15 in trades, $25 out the door for the car. However they wanted to play the numbers, I wanted to cut them a check for $10k. Honestly, that’s all that G8 was worth.

Genetically mutated hypo-allergenic Siberian pussy arrives Saturday. $1k cats FTL.

Yeah… V6.

Found one in south jersey/Delaware with 30k for 25, but after driving the g8, I wouldn’t get rid of the neon for it. It’s a nice daily, but I need something with nuts that can carve corners.

bullshit!

they both have good looks in different ways.

I like the looks of the LS1 WS6 front end more then the SS, but I like the SS CME rear end setup better then the bee hive look on the Pontiac’s.
