Aside from the annoying blonde, I am very intrigued by the idea of Holden tossing a V8 into a car roughly equivalent to the Dodge SRT-4.
The biggest question now is how badly that car's exterior will be destroyed by the Pontiac design team (see Solstice vs. Sky). |

It's not really any smaller than a GTO. Although I think it looks better.

6.0L and 415 hp? sounds like it got the LS2 in it. IMO it looks better than the GTO too.

Agreed, but remember that the new GTO also used to be a good looking Aussie car before Pontiac got their hands on it:

| True, but the concept designs (which I guess are just that, concepts) that I've all seen look just like the vxr8. Which is sweeeeeeeet. |

Actually, that looks pretty damn good. 362hp 6L would mean it's coming with a severely de-tuned LS2 smallblock. Optional 6-speed Tremec sounds nice though.
Biggest problems I can see are the 4-6-8 system, and the nearly two-ton curb weight. Not good, but still way better than the new Dodge "Charger". |

I don't care what anyone says, I like the G series pontiacs, and I even think the GTO's look good.
Its too bad there won't be a 5th generation Firebird.
