The Summit will be the top of the line model :gr_jest:

Yup gator will stick. everything else just doesn't sound right.

Gator FTW!

so all the prey will be gator bait

Gator is ok, but this thing should be call a Grand Prix and not G8.

What about Tony the Tiger, because "It's Gr88888!!!" :D

The Summit will be the top of the line model :gr_jest:

Actually, ......."Summit"....Just watch. That is a perfect name for an SUV

Someday.........

HAHA, oh man.. almost spit my coffee on the screen. :fawkdance: :D

would anyone get confused with the Porsche Cayman? (a cayman is a crocodile) :monkee:

tempest?

G8tr works too

I was actually thinking crocodile would be more appropriate with it being from OZ. I say the "CROC"'

As in after the cows (or sheep for the Aussies) have left the barn?

I'm down with Gator.

I think gator is appropriate.................sure beats croc

I still kinda like Gator, but what about Kangaroo or something to show where it is from? Gator makes me think of Flordia

KNow what they call a tour bus that delivers fans to Florida away games?

A Gator Gitter. Seriously.

This is why, as a Florida State Seminole Fan, I must object to naming it a GAYtor. I do not want to drive the very thing I hate in college sports. It just goes against every thing that is just and right in my view of the world. However, as I am totally un-creative, at least in making names for things, I will silently object naming the awesomely awesome G8 such a lowly and despicible thing as those losers from the university of florida. :barf:

lol.

Not a good nickname but mine will say FMLYGOT!

Your family got what?

your all going about it wrong, it's not a G8 (G ate) it's the G8 (G oit) just ask any Australian. lol

Goiter? eh...

lol

Goiter? eh...

I just spit coffee all over my monitor.

Well if the "hot" goat was da Judge, can we call a G8GXP da Jury?

"here come da Jury" just does not have that same Flip Wilson ring to it.

Your family got what?

I think he is meaning family goat......FMLYGOT

Goiter? eh...

hahaha...

chrish

I'm not down with nicknames. Goat for the GTO is about as bad as it gets.

gator works

Grand Prix

Grand Prix


How about NO!

4 DOOR GTO!!!

B/c thats essentially what it is.

i think i'll be referring to them as VE's

I think he is meaning family goat......FMLYGOT

You would be correct sir, I was thinking about putting FMLYVET on my GTO or TBSS but FMLYGOT seems much more appropriate on the G8.

The Dingo G8 my baby.

The "Galloping G8"? No. To close to that pony car.

How about "g'day't".. except of course Americans can't pronounce "G'day". (To tell the truth I had to be taught how to too, and I was born in Elizabeth within sight of the Holden factory..)

I think its already a done deal Mango1..............Gator
Sun Dog......you thought that one up all on your own?............:err:

Gator sounds a little too, ermmm..... hillbillyish? Remember, we're trying to get this car to sell outside the rural areas of America, and while in Australia you may call it whatever you like (Gator has my vote there), we need something that pushes the G8 as a new age for General Motors in America, not a revival. Because when you think about it, whats the under 40 crowd in America going to think about if the car is a revival of anything GM has done?

A 1981 Cadillac Cimmaron. Do we really need that car fresh on everyone's mind? No.

So lets clip the idea of calling it the Grand Prix in the shins and also try and avoid Gator. Besides, Florida isn't doing to well in the BCS this year, so calling it that might be a bad idea anyway:whine:.

I also think something thats not a play on the name would be good too.

With that said, I'm not the most original person in the world, so let the debate recommence:attachment:.

IMO, the car should have been call Tempest, so I'll throw in Tempest's G8 (gate)

I'm not a big fan of Gator, but I can't think of anything better that goes along with the name.

My wife has been calling it the "Gate" just to piss me off.

Might as well just call it the G-spot.

Urg8rb8

When i get my ST i'm just gonna call her a ute.

G8? I like G spot or Ocho..

Sun Dog......you thought that one up all on your own?............:err:

Well, they're not all golden ya know.

How about the Pontiac Fahrenheit, just enough German to scare the French.

I think G8, is about as short as you can get. I would say just plain "G" would be good, but the infinity guys have that one. How about "The 8"?

When i get my ST i'm just gonna call her a ute.

G8? I like G spot or Ocho..

At this time, I'm looking to wait for the ST. Are you planning to import some "UTE" badges when you get one? I'd love for it to have a real name instead of alphabet soup.

You'll probably think I'm lame putting this in, but if I ever buy a Holden VE Commodore/Pontiac G8 in it's SS trim level (or a HSV GTS), I'd call it "Fatty". But if a bullbar was fitted onto these cars I'd call it a Warthog (but who puts bullbars on these cars anyway?)

Earlier today, I had a discussion about the car with a few of my co-workers saying how the new Commies look chunky/chubby/fatty. I still want one though...

Probably not. Keeping it original methinks. But my vanity plate: see my avatar.

Depending on how many letters your state allows, I have 2 ideas for plates. "Haulsass" or "Halsass". Although, most will decline them since we spelled out a swear word (as if any DMV would approve it :err:)

How about we just call it beautiful and be happy with it :D

"G spots", catchy but hard to use in conversation.

Nobody outside the club is gonna understand VE, unless we toss it in with the G and the 8.

vegitate? right. vee-gate? right.

I suspect Gator will stick.

I don't think there are any badges that say "Ute"; it's always been self evident from any view except dead front on that it's a ute.
There was a early 70's Holden ute concept called "Ewe't", I have a picture which I will post as soon as I find it.. but I doubt it had anything other than sticker type badges!
