Pontiac G8 Set For Aus Limited Run

[MatsHolden]

i wondered when this would happen.... around the start of the year in a space of a month i saw 3 of them, i was curious as to why they were over here, now im assuming for testing purposes?

They've been on our roads since the release of VE testing for the American export market.

same engine but with better and more tech

really? AFAIK the G8 got the same engines as the Commodore.
They used the non-direct inject V6 and the AFM/Non-AFM v8s

cbf reading the article again, but at one of the links posted the article mentions the us version being more powerful, cant remember if its due to a tune etc. but it does say it.

Pretty sure that the G8 GT had the same 270kw output as on the SS's here in Australia. The GXP did however have increased power, but this is more the 'HSV' of the G8. This had the LS3 in it delvering around the 309kw mark, so about the same as the HSV range in Australia.

By the time i'm finished with it I'll have more than what they claim. Hoping the pontiac G8 ute is available because i'm SOLD!!!

Ute, sedan and wagon were on the memo sent to dealers.

Possibility of one of the V8 teams taking some front ends and wacking em on?
