2008 Pontiac G8 Official Pics Revealed!

Mmm, I wonder how these pics leaked out so early... Oh, don’t tell me it was a magazine? Wow, I don't believe it! Anyway, here’s the whole stack of leaked images we found on Road&Track’s website. There’s no official info yet, but hey, its basically a rebadged 2007 Holden Commodore SS with a double-wedge front grille so I’m sure there won’t be any surprises in the engine bay. Stay tuned as we’ll have more on the 2008 Pontiac G8 soon enough. Via: Road&Track

New Pontiac G8 pics emerge on the web

Yesterday, thanks to a watchful web-enthusiast who managed to snap a few photos from the Chicago Auto Show web-cam we got a blurry look of the highly anticipated Pontiac G8. Now, just a few hours before GM pull’s down the curtains on the Holden Commodore SS based G8 and we’ve got a new set of pictures that give us a clearer view of the cars front end and its rear tail-lights.

Chicago Preview: Pontiac G8 revealed by...official webcam!

Don’t you just love car-geeks who frisk every single corner of the web, waiting for someone or something to go wrong? We certainly do! Following December’s mix-up with the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu pic that popped up by mistake on the NAIAS site, GM has another “booboo” on its hands. This time a member of “G8board.com” managed to catch half a dozen screen shots of the Pontiac G8 from the online webcams at the Chicago Auto Show official site! -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to see the rest of the article plus 5 extra pictures

From the looks of it, and as we previously assumed, the Holden Commodore SS based G8 is, well, nothing else than a rebadged Holden Commodore SS. But that’s ok with us. Don’t forget, we’re talking about a 6-litre V8 powered, rear-wheel drive, 4door sedan. If the price is right, we’d be among the first to sign up for one. Via: Autoblog.com, Source: G8board

Wagoner lifts (half way) the cover of the Holden based, Pontiac G8

Thanks to a report from Charles Gibson of ABC we’ve got an official sneak peek of the forthcoming Pontiac G8. Gibson was escorted by “big-boss” Rick Wagoner into GM’s design studio where the later did a little bit of a strip-tease on the G8 by lifting off the front cover, thus revealing the Americanized Commodores fascia. According to sources, the Pontiac G8 will make its first appearance as a concept at the Chicago show in February with a production model following on late this year or early next year. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below

It’s highly unlikely that GM will do any serious rework on the Holden Commodore’s sheetmetal or on the interior for that matter since the car will be imported from Australia. Same goes for the mechanics as the G8 will be equipped with the same V6 and V8 engines as the Commodore including a 6.0-liter 362hp, 390lb.ft. V8 coupled to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.Via: Autoblog.Com & ABC
