    Looks cool, I'm curious to see how it will perform in longevity. My only concern with the first model year of a new model is there WILL be problems that will need to be sorted out, it's unavoidable, but hopefully there will be nothing major for you.

      Doubtful there will be first year issues, if any. The platform is derived from Holden, which has been on the road for years. Its a re-bodied G8, which was released a few years ago here.

        I would have thought they would use the lt1 and not the ls3. Pretty cool though

            I'm sure they can come to America to buy one.

              On another page, I wonder how long I will have to wait until the 6-speed version comes out.

                Nice car especially if you are familiar with the Pontiac G8. The only complaint I have is the name, it would have been nice for them to bring back old name tags such as Biscayne, Bel Air, Chevelle, Nova or something with some sort of homage to classic Chevy's.

                  Surprised it's taken this long for you guys to finally get it in your market.
                  Otherwise know as VF Commodore to us NZ/Auz guys.
                  Can't wait to see it in the dealers.

                  The specs are looking pretty good, and jumping well ahead of the previous VE Commodore.
                  But I haven't heard any news of a Ute version, They had talked about discontinuing the Ute, so time will tell.

                  Actually you can almost guarantee first year issues, Almost ALL Commodore models had first year issues, though the dealer warranty covered everything.
                  You may have a better case assuming your models will be built in the US, with different quality control.

                  A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

                  If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

                    I believe it's going to be built in Aussie Land, and shipped to the states.

                      I am glad they brought the platform back, but prefer the look of the G8, especially the GXP.

                        I'm somewhat happy with the whole package. The motor, the 4 doors, and a 6-speed when it becomes available is what grabbed me. I like the look of it, but the G8 was a little nicer IMO. Still, it has won me over, so there is a very strong chance I'll be in one soon.

                            My buddy Tyler bought a G8 from Boston and drove it back to Alberta. They're hard enough to find here as it is. But it's no problem to buy a new car in the US and import it here.

                            The most exciting thing we're going to see is the new Impala. Shame we won't get the SS, and I don't understand why, since they previously sold G8s and GTOs here.
