I had to do it, I had to get this, it was on the showroom floor, I drove it home.

Very cool! Is it a GT or GXP?

Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:42 pm

G8 GT, GXP's are very hard to find and I didn't have that kind of time. Steal of a deal.

GT is all a guy needs. I love those cars. Got any mods planned for it?

Ha. I just saw a new report on how they are selling off Pontiac's, and saturn's. How much did you pick it up for? It looks awesome.

pontiacs are gay. i like the factory rice vent on the side

every one i've had sucked shit. atleast it looks better than the g6 and it's faster than a focus

Not my style but if you're happy with it then more power to you.

I did have a G6 for a body shop loaner the last time my car was in for work and I have to say it wasn't bad at all, I was still happy to get back in my SVT though.

at the haters.
This is the 6.0L version of the car. Looks like mom is taking the kids to the soccer game and it is a blast to drive. Too bad the roads are so shitty though. Australian made car, not the old shitty Pontiacs of yore. Believe me, my wife had a Grand Am when i met her, that piece of shit was gone and soon as i could convince her.

$25,350 for the car. Stickered at $32,000ish (can't remember off the top of my head)
Just a couple more than the Mazdaspeed3 I was considering.

I felt it was fitting that one of the managers at the dealership is named Joel Mullet.

Sweet! I like the G8's.

I'm zealous..i've always liked it but for 32g i cant afford it. thats a steal, 7k off the sticker. pontiacs and saturns must be selling like hot cakes now with the massive discount.

3 years of parts and good luck after that. lol, nice price though. Nice grab.

The L76 engine is used in a lot of Holden cars, parts won't be a problem. Plus it has a 5 year 100,000 mile drive train warranty. So I am not too worried. They also decided to bring the car over to the Chevy line, supposedly as the new Lumina, but I hope they reconsider and name it Chevelle or something better.

Something like this probably:

I've always liked what holden has produced for the past 10 years and always wanted a Clubsport, but if they offered the Crewman here I might have to slip and pick one up....

Arsenal741 · Thu Jan 07, 2010 11:24 pm

Solid buy! Don't even think of it as a pontiac... That is a Holden with tons of R&D behind it!

focinite · Sun Jan 10, 2010 4:56 pm

good score but hope the parts are still there in 5-10 years when it needs wheel bearings,rod ends, a rack, rear bushings...... from past holdens like um the caddy corteria( the v6 rear drive cavilier) or the gto, parts are hard to find for me at work its like they dont make them after market. but for the fun factor at least a 10, but they dont like being modded, also good luck with a cat back if it has the displacement on demand. a good friend of mine had a g8 at the dealership he works at come in with all sorts of codes and drive ability issues due to the ressonace causing problems when it cut backs cylinders.
