So check this out all Americans. I posted earlier about the astra coming to the US under the Saturn badge, and I found a shocker that, since before, had slipped under my radar. The new Pontiac Sedan, the G8, is a Commodore. A COMMODORE. A FREAKIN HOLDEN COMMODORE!!! I dunno about you guys, but I think Pontiac has just won my heart. Hands down. Let's hear it for Aussie engineering.

And the GTO was a Holden Monaro.

These things take a good thrashing. I saw it on Top Gear being compared to a BMW M5...

Yea, I knew all about that one. I'm just very glad they continued with the idea; moving the platforms over to america. The new Camaro has the same Commodore platform.
