If it was on during Survivor then I definitely didn't see it.

I saw one of the new Pontiac commercials w/ the James Brown song. I don't remember seeing any concepts in it though. I've seen the new Buick ones with the "ghost" of Harley Earl. I like the concept, but I think its a little premature. Buick doesn't have any drastically changed cars out with the exception of the Rainier. Portholes on a Park Avenue don't count. Buick needs to build the LaCrosse. That car looks great. Just give it a V8 and AWD.

I agree. GREAT concept... Harley Earl... reminds me of all his Corvette work... but it is premature.

They should have waited until they started launching some restyled Buicks...

I guess since they added the portholes on the fenders... they feel they have started down a new road.

Any idea if they are going to actually make this Bonneville? Was the car in the commercial the same one thats on the pontiac website? I really like the looks of that G/XP....but it will probably way too pricey for my wallet.

There's a shot in the commercial with the James Brown song (sex machine?), wide angle and pretty distant. Looks like there's a Grand Prix G-Force doing a parking brake slide in the background.

I saw it today during the football game. Bunch of FWD cars doing some parking brake slides and torque steering in the sand I think. Good commercial, not so good cars. If it was some RWD cars doing real powerslides, it would have been better.

Lightbulb GTO

Wouldn't it be nice to see a cool GTO ad campaign? Talking about and showing bits of the car until it is unveiled next January. You know, give us something to be excited about.

The GX/P WILL arrive early next year according to AMI Auto World.

I don't think anyone knows how extensive the treatment will be though. (Cosmetic, tweaked motor, ETC.)
