Pontiac G8
Trying to recapture Pontiac's long-advertised "driving excitement," General Motors has tapped Holden, its Australian subsidiary, for the new full-size G8 sedan, which will premiere in 2008 as a 2009 model.
Available with a choice of a V6 or V8 engines, early reviews for the rear-drive G8 are favorable, though Pontiac had zero sales success when it imported an Aussie coupe and called it the new GTO. If the sedan is successful, expect assorted variants on the same platform, which have been rumored to include an updated version of the El Camino that combines a car's front end with the rear of a pickup truck.
