    Default holden commodore v8 / pontiac g8 / vauxhall vxr8 spotted

    It's a Holden Commodore SS wearing bowties. I think it wil look much better in the pontiac regalia. sbc > *





    Spoiler, 18" wheels.











    No spoiler, 19" wheels.

    There has been more than one caught running around the US.

    Pontiac is selling the car here as the G8. Vauxhall is selling it in Europe as the VXR8. Chevrolet is selling it in the Middle East and South America.

    There will be some G8 owners out there that make theirs into a Chevy. I think its one of the rare few cars which actually looks better with a spoiler (blaspheme) :cool:

    I like it!

    I was drooling over all of the Holdens when I was in Austrailia. This is the first time I've seen the updated look.

    Looks like it needs some wider tires though:

    Is it already burning oil out of the right exhaust?

    I'd roll in it. Don't worry Thomas I'm sure as soon as someone gets a hold of one it will have at least 275s on it.
