The new G8 looks fucking gorgeous! The rear looks like an Audi A4, and the front looks like a mean BMW M3

with 362 Horses, thats quite impressive, RWD to boot

Its a shame Pontiacs arent to popular. Hopefully with this new lineup they will start to compete with Ford, Dodge and Chevy.

I jsut checked out their line up. I was surprised to see the grand priz had a HUD and paddle shifters. Guess pontiac is finally getting their shit together and possibly making good cars now.

Where have you guys been ? Pontiac is becoming GM's line to compete BMW, Audi and the like. Pontiac has completely been overhauled to say the least.
1. G8 = a Holden as well 
2. All pontiacs are supposed to be RWD performance driven by 2010.

Those pontiacs just look like what Holdens have looked like for the past decade.
