I notice the GMI image has the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Mmm...actually the photo on C&G is RHD and the image on GMI is LHD.

(edit: whoops just noticed you're from Australia...guess that is the wrong side for you)

Re: Spy pics: The beginning of GM's RWD revival.

They're actually different shots...

The wheels are different, and the wiper blades angle in a different direction... so one of the vehicles is for export markets. no prizes for guessing which one!

Re: Spy pics: The beginning of GM's RWD revival.

i see the LHD version on GMI has the grill cover that is similar to a Solstice (see the solstice pic in NSAP's signature). So, wonder if that is the Pontiac G8 rather than a Buick...

The C&G spy shot is the Australian Commodore for the Aussie market. The GMI shot is for Middle Eastern markets.

We'd love it if this were a photo of a G8 (hah we'd make a hell of a lot more money on the photos!) but this is a Holden model. Hopefully a G8 is spawned from this car...time will tell.

Be sure to post a link when they are up. I am sure the buyer won't mind sharing so long as it gets people to their site. BTW how many pics total?

For the gazillionth time, Camaro isn't part of Zeta. It's on something else.

Yea URL text links are always fine with us. There are 12 photos in circulation at the moment.
