Its pretty lame when GM has to double dip as oppossed to coming out with a
completely fresh new design. They try to pass the G8 off as a new product
when its just a rehash of a car they have been using in Australia forever.
Thats lame.

Your basic premise is totally WRONG: while Holden has used the
Commodore name since nearly before the earth cooled, the present
Commodore design is new from the wheels up.

Go take a look at the Holden web site and get educated:

P.S. When oh when will GM get smart enough to bring over the Statesman
Caprice and the UTE?

While the "Commodore" has been out in AUS "forever", the VE model that
they're bringning over as the Pontiac G8 is an all-new design that was
just released last fall. Everything about the car is new except for the
name.

Personally, I can't wait for the car to get here. GM will FINALLY have
an affordable RWD performance sedan with a V8 option (CTS-V obviously
fails on the "affordable" part of that equation).

Not only that, the car mags all had long-term testers, and more than one
chewed the teeth off the ring and pinion. I don't think you really want a
CTS-V unless you like under-engineered.
