Full-size, RWD performance is coming back to General Motors, and it's going to be a Pontiac:

Love the G8, would trade-in my '08 GP GXP for a V8 version in a heartbeat if I had the funds to do so.

"Back seat was cramped."

Never heard somebody claim that the 7th Gen Grand Prix had adequate rear legroom. Interesting. I've owned an '04 and now an '08 and have found the opposite to be true (with regards to the comparison made to the G8).

Best Pontiac made in the last 10 years, IMO (regardless if it started as a Commodore). It was good to see that GM was bringing successful designs from abroad to the US - looking for more with the Chevy SS!

Where did you read that noble? I've heard nothing of the sort other than that new Chevy SS would be effectively the "old G8".

In looking at things, I would be more than a little surprised if GM also exported the car to Europe to be sold as an Opel.

The G8 and Chevy SS are the same as the Holden Commador, the Chevy PPV is a Holden Statesman and in China Buick Park Ave. The PPV is 4 inches longer. They are both built on the same Zeta platrorm and the Chevy Camaro is also a Zeta Platform with a short wheel base. These cars are not new The VE Commador has been around for awile and is the best selling car in Austraila.

No, actually they do not need to sell "millions" of the cars to keep them as a viable vehicle in the line-up.

While, to the public, we can get the old G8 as a new Chevrolet SS, it's also being marketed to, and also sold to police departments, not just here in the US, but, in many countries around the world. That particular model is being called a Caprice PPV, but, one quick look and it's the G8/SS.

Also, this car is still the Australian Holden Commodore. GM would like to sell "millions" of them, but, will be happy with about 30 to 50 thousand sold in a year here in the US.

Well it is now official. GM is bring back the G8 as the Chevrolet SS as a 2014 model. The are waiting till then because it will have the new Zeta2 platform which will be lighter and more fuel efficent than the current platform. The SS will also be the new Chevrolet in NASCAR starting with the 2013 Daytona 500.
They are also talking about bring the UTE [truck version] and station wagon. If they do I will be very tempted to trade my beloved G8 for the UTE.

The rumors are that the new NASCAR Chevrolet will be a limited production car. There is still a market out there for a high performance sedan, which they say this car will be. The G8 had the performance of a 535i BMW at half the price. But then the head chassus designer of the G8 [commador] also designed the last 5 series BMW chassis.

OK??? Lets look at the possibility here. Yes a V8 rear wheel drive car would be nice. In this economy with gas prices rising faster then most people can breathe. I do not see a big or expanding market for this vehicle other than Nascar. Remember your history. When gas prices go sky high. Big V8 vehicles ( other than trucks ) suffer in sales.

I do believe this purehonda.com website you linked is misinforming. Every car data website I used(kbb,msn) lists the information I posted below as well as Dodge. Also the "new engine technology" of the HEMI wasn't available til just the past couple years and never in the Magnum. If you want actual data though, go check out the Magnum forums. Those guys will tell you whats actual!

"the 2009 Hemi Magnum mileage is 21 city - 28 highway."

Wow! Where are you getting this information?? There was no 2009 first off as the Magnum ran from 05-08 years and the 2008 RT 5.7L had an EPA of 15/23. Lets take a look at all Magnum trims...

•2.7L V6 engine
•Automatic transmission
•Up to 18 cty/26 hwy mpg

•3.5L V6 engine
•Automatic transmission
•Up to 17 cty/24 hwy mpg

•5.7L V8 engine
•Automatic transmission
•Up to 15 cty/23 hwy mpg

•6.1L V8 engine
•Automatic transmission
•Up to 13 cty/18 hwy mpg

I average 17/25 in my G8 consistantly with a best of 26.2. And If I were betting money.... I would say the Magnum RT 5.7 might be closer to 13/21. Dodge has always been on the lowside of fuel economy...especially anything with the hemi engine. However, Dodge finally thought about economy and started using the 4/8 cylinder kill which results in the newer Challenger's with the 5.7L getting an EPA of 16/25.

I grew up with Pontiacs myself. I think your "amazing" is quite different from my "amazing". A G8 is a full size rear wheel drive performance car. None of those you list compare in that category cept for an RT or SRT Magnum. Compare the gas mileage then.

I am on my 4th Pontiac grand Prix. I have owned an older Bonneville. A VERY Old Grandville. So I am not new to Pontiacs

The G8 just seems cheesy & cramped to me. Besides.... Grand Prix sounds allot better than G8.

Amazing car....?
Let s have a few options here.
Amazing Milage....Chevrolet Impala. My wife & someone I work with both have a 2002 model. Big car. 3.4 liter V6....Gets 30 to 33 mpg...that is amazing

Amazing stile.... the Dodge magnum is a hot looking car. Even though it is a station wagon. Car looks like it s going 100 mph while it is standing still.......Nice

Amazing economy car.... Fiat 500. Cut little car for under $16,000 & gets 38 mpg.....Amazing

No, it's an update with the TCM. You bring your car in for service and the ECM/TCM's get reflashed with updates all the time. There is nothing wrong with the transmission.

"YES. Crappy gas mileage while still using $.20 to $.25 more / gal premium gas. not cost effective."

I still don't see how 26mpg is crappy in a V8 4200lb perfomance sedan. Anyone else think it's crappy? V6 sedans rarely do any better. Have you checked any of the rice cooker(import) performance Sedans? They typically use super as well.

"The G8 is just the Grand Prix...Re-Labeled"

So based on that theory does that means the G6 is a Grand Prix too? Since you said the G6 and G8 look the same.

"My opinion is a so...so car. Nothing amazing."

So what car is amazing to you? Give us the details so we can compare.

I get the feeling that someone has never had a long term experince with a G8 GT.
How many other cars out there get the same performance as a BMW 535i for half the price. The only other performance sedan out there that is in the same price range and has V8 performance is the Dodge Charger R/T and SRT8, and they don't perform as well as the G8 GT. [Experience speaking I have beaten both at the drag strip.]

I will repeat. I sat in the front seat & adjusted the seat to fit me. ( I am 6'-1"tall ) went into the back seat & it was cramped. Maybe a small kid could fit.

YES. Crappy gas mileage while still using $.20 to $.25 more / gal premium gas. not cost effective.

""there has been no transmission issues cept some have had a 3-4 shift flare which can be fixed by a simple reflash at the dealer.""

So there is a transmission problem that needs fixing....

YES ...Looks very similar to a G6.

"It was prone to mechanical(transmission problems)"? Huh, there has been no transmission issues cept some have had a 3-4 shift flare which can be fixed by a simple reflash at the dealer. I run my car thru the ringer and it hasn't flinched at all.

"Back seat was cramped"? Huh, Everytime I've had passengers in the back they say they love the feel and comfort of the bucket seat and there is plenty of leg room!

Any other G8 owners want to attest to my rebuttal? Not really necessary, LOL

"Wow, You obviously haven't been around a G8 at all!

"Not an all around Sedan?" About the only thing that's not all around on this sedan is it blows the doors off all the other all around sedans.

"Less than normal gas mileage?" Myself and many other G8 owners have acheived 26plus miles to the gallon highway! That's above normal! In town I usually see 18 plus! It's all in how you keep control of the DOD to remain active.

"Premium gas"? Very small drawback to what I'm given in return. I've actually used regular with no detonation, but to be safe and because I have a performance tune, I stick with 93.

"Car looked too much like a G6"? How you figure this one? Nothing is shared and even close to being the same! And it's not a rebadged Grand Poprix! This car is in no way shape or form like any other GM product except the ones that use the Zeta II chassis(Camaro).

A G8 is a performance sedan that looks amazing, drives amazing, feels amazing, and has more bang per buck than it's closest competitors! I've had my 09 GT since Feb of 09 and it put a smile on my face every time I've driven the 29K miles it's been.. and knowing that it's never been to the dealer for any problem is a bonus! Another plus is there are a multitude of choices for modifying the car from a simple air intake to brakes to suspension to a complete engine! I've added a few goodies myself and it's just enhanced the car even more! You can keep your Grand Prix, and I'm not downing one, but it has nothing on a G8!

There is a market out there for the G8 [commador] They build what is called in Austraila a UTE. Chevrolet could bring it here and bring a name from the past for it. ElCamino.
I have had my G8 GT for 3 1/2 years and wouldn't trade it for anything. It is quicker than the 70 Hemi Cuda I had and handles better than the 65 Corvette I had. Automotive Technology has come a long way.

The G8 (Commodore) is eventually returning! Albeit as a Chevy.
The following story is a little confusing to read. The PPV (police vehicle) is a long wheelbase Holden Caprice. It is in use in some states now. The G8 is a short wheelbase Commodore. It will return later on as a Chevy.

I wouldn't go holding your breath on the G8 becoming a Chevy of some sort to be sold to the American public. Last I heard the car we know as the G8 will be made available to police departments as a cop car soon, but, I don't even have a timetable on that. Last I heard/read, that was the only plans for a state-side version of this vehicle.

There is an endless rumor that Chevrolet will bring back a 4dr RWD V8 Zeta platform when the Commodore gets its upgrade in 2012-13. So maybe a 2014 return.

And the G8 is nothing like a Grand Prix.

It's been back and forth for a while now, but Motor Trend recently confirmed its return as a Chevrolet. At least for now it's confirmed. The longer wheel base version is currently being used for police vehicles or will soon start rather, so it only makes sense to make the line available again. I hope to god they give it a new name instead of the boring old Chebby names used in the past!! Something to spark an interest, just like the G8 name did and still does. I absolutely love my G8!!

It won't happen, unfortunately. Bob Lutz recently said that while he was pushing for it continue coming to the US, that top GM brass nixed it. If you like the G8, look for one still hanging around on a car lot, or, look for a used one. We've gotten all we're going get, sad to say.

Instead of getting our feathers ruffled here, can we just agree that the G8 is the replacement for the Grand Prix? I personally wish that they'd kept the GP name myself, but, all of that's moot at this point with Pontiac being phased out.

2004VHO, yeah, I haven't seen many used G8's around here either, but, I figure there will be by the time I'm in the market for another car, which is, God willing, at least 2 years away.

You know 99 GASE2
Tooting your own horn to hear yourself talk (type)
You even said it yourself in your last post.... The car is Re-Labled from Aus to USA.
Weather it was designed in Australia, USA or India does not matter.
In the USA it is called a G8 ( the new designation , name what ever you want to call it ) of the older style GrandPrix.
Holden was probably contracted by Pontiac or was paid by Pontiac for the design....SO WHAT. You still don't get it.
Here is the progression. GrandPrix, Pontiac buys design from Holden for VE Commodore, brings design to USA, calls it the G8.
The cars are very similar to each other. As much as a major design change from year to year.
You were the one insulting me that I knew nothing about cars.
I made the comment that it was a re-labeled GP.
You were the one that got all huffy about the re-labeling.
So again. Go insult someone else.

"OK 99 GASE2
I don't have 18 hours a day like you to snoop the internet for dribble about 1 obscure car that was re-labeled in Australia.
Go somewhere else to insult someone else."

Do you just like to insult people & listen to yourself talk?

You are still not getting it.

The car is not re-labeled in Australia.
It is re-labeled in USA/Canada.

Holden in Australia spent a $1-billion AU doing the R&D for the Holden VE Commodore.
They designed & built it.
It is an Australia car.

PS: Why are you in this Pontiac G8 thread ?
You don't seem to have anything to contribute to it.

"The G8 is just the Grand Prix...Re-Labeled .
I am on my 4th Grand Prix ( 2006 )"

It is obvious that you know nothing about the Pontiac G8.

It is NOT a re-labeled Grand Prix.
It is a totally different car.
It is a re-labeled Holden VE Commodore from Australia.
