G8 Sneak Peak!

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2832510



Nice chiseled look. Cant wait for Chicago. Thanks for the peak Rick!

Now the photochoppers need to get to putting that front end on a good Commodore pic...

Id really like to know about these woes they were talking about...

Grill doesn't look too bad. I don't know about that hood scoop though.

Love the short overhang, stance, and flares.

Unfortunately it looks like it has a unique hood, meaning a Holden conversion will entail at least a hood and front facia.

Looks pretty cool to me...I'm happy to see that they didn't butcher it I'm not a fan of the grille but from what I've seen I realize it could have been much worse and am thankful that it isn't

Just about everybody in the entire USA bitched about no hood scoops on the GTO , so the fact their on the G8 is not surprising at all . You wanted em America

It looks just like the motor trend car . If the dual kidney grill has to be there , at least that looks very tasteful . This car is gonna be oh so sexy , and those wheels are complete sex If ya squint your eyes though , it looks dead on like a bimmer from that sneak peak .

Here's another screencap for fun...


A larger one of the one in the first post. Note how the Pontiac emblem is monochrome and notched at the top. That isn't a result of the vid quality.

boo yeah!! It's a little more than JUST the Pontiac arrow head in place of the Holden badge, but hey, it doesn't look like they grossely Pontiac-ified it!!

... and can someone refresh my memory ... it is going to have both an A6 and M6 available, correct?? I think that'll be a helluva a car (albeit, 4-doors) in the interim until the full line of NA Zetas (including Camaro ) arrive!!

IF I were in the market for a new car right now .....

Looks like they won't show the G8 'till tomorrow night.

I didn't watch the video from the first post though.
