    my friend went to a dealer and was like...when does it come out I want to buy one...

    the DEALER said..."i will sell you it when we get them but i dont think they are that great"...

    and for the record...I was the one who sent him there to get it haha...i think at least in pics that they look pretty bad ass...

    Holy crap, now there's a dealership to avoid...one where the rep's aren't interested in selling anything new & exciting.

    "While I have you here though, why don't you take a look at this great new pontiac pursuit we just got in...now with am-fm radio and A/C!"

    LOL i guess with a 6.04 1st gear they want it to launch. Coupled with the 3.70 rear end gear thats an overall 1st gear ratio of 22.35 good grief. With a 28 in tall tire at 5500 rpm thats 20.5 mph lol. With a 6 speed i see lots smoke on launch.

    I agree, a little more stealth than the SSR (too bad it was a flop, even with the bigger mill)
    Did like some of the advertising though, lol

    Yep... UGLY and SLOW. Cool commercial tho. :headspin:

    That G8(Holden) is a nice looking car. :dribble:I wonder if Pontiac has moved past their cheap and corny interiors? :yawn:

    Motor Trend has a nice write up on the Charger Vs. The G8.

    why would you even wonder that if they cant get past their generic looking front end that they put on EVERY one of their cars?

    yeah that color wasnt doin it for me either...I think it would look better in black or even red...

    that one needed to be dropped about 1 1/2 too...

    yup, too high and the wheel size and shape sucks. too bad though, gm would have had another high seller. this one just looks like a sportier version of the impala.

    It just looks like another Holden, the GTO was a flop and they expect this to do better????
