Hey guys, we had a few people tip us about these pics on your forum, and we did a post on them. Just wanted to let you know we hosted the pics on Autoblog.com because a few of us were having trouble viewing the thread, which we assumed was because traffic was picking up. Knowing we would only compound that problem with more traffic by linking here, we decided to host the pics on Autoblog in case the forum was having trouble handling the increased traffic. To make up for it though, we inserted a Digg module in our post for people to vote for it on Digg.com. Hope you guys don't mind, want to make sure you see your due traffic for this killer find without your servers getting fried in the process.

looks good so far....i wish the bar at the bottom of the front facia was broken up like on the Holden...meaning there wasnt a "so called" bar that basically attaches the fogs. i wish they were independant of one another...
that bar reminds me of the 2004-2006 Maxima's and make the car to appear to be smiling. but the rest looks good so far

Nice job, Pontiac! Suddenly my new GTO looks old. Bastards! It looks like the design guys really came through. My guess is the dealers will still screw things up with over-sticker pricing and restricted test drives for the first few months.

Holden cars don't have HUD or heated seats (it's hot enought down here as it is!) so it depends how hard it is to add these at your dealership..

The mags will give it credit from Australia, but bash it for being too heavy, or the ergonomics aren't right, etc. If they didn't have anything to bitch about, they'd be out of a job.

Someone shut down the camera which viewed the GM area. Now when you click on the camera that should view that area, you get the camera that views Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep instead.
