What is interesting is if this is true, a leather interior is standard but a leather steering wheel isn't...go figure...
Cloth standard in both base and GT . 2 tone cloth avail. Leather avail in both ....and 2 tone leather with red or blue as contrasting colors with color matched red or blue guage faces in the GT only . Base car has leather wheel and **** only with the sport package ......in the GT the leather wheel and **** is standard . I got that info off a guide over at cheerandgears .

Perhaps you may have forgotten. I believe the CAW still has that clause that only they can produce the Camaro. I may be wrong, however.

Plus, who is starving for new product more? Pontiac hands down. They've been neglected for quite a while, and this only seems right.

You mean you think it'll come earlier or that it won't come at all?

But for cars 6 months or older, it's fair game. You just have to run the gauntlet of certifying the car to Canadian regulations, which for most models isn't that difficult once you do your research. However some models, like the C6, require significant modifications to pass, and others, like the GTO will never be allowed in Canada short of doing your own crash tests.
your forgettitng taxes too! Also after 15 years we can import GTOs! I look forward to buying a low mielage, 1 owner, gently driven GTO in 2020! 15 years we can import anything! YAY!

Josh,

I deleted my post when I remembered that the G8 was initially being built in Australia....my mistake.

Well, the 2009 should be carried with an *tentative.

There's debate right now about the availability of a 6 speed manual.
