Some new photos were posted on the Pontiac.com G8 site in the gallery section, however, it still leaves some questions, ie, in one shot, it shows a red/blk gear shifter (like what holden does), but in the shot of the dash, you can just see the red on the passenger seat, but it has a black shift lever.

Also, the dash shot you can see that it has the volts and oil pressure in the upper display (in red), so does that mean we get it (never really mentioned anywhere, and hard to see in the photo below) - also as mentioned in anouther thread, the 888 logo is shown on the silver trim on the passenger side.

Perhaps the marketing dept. just used stock Holden pic and reversed it or the red leather is reflecting?

The Holden Accessory interior leather gear knob upgrade offers an additional styling piece to the interior of the VE.

looks like the shifter could be a dealer accessory? or like someone mentioned, just a poor photoshop :P

I just want GM to get some G8s to local dealers so I can check them out.

I totally agree. I really want to the the final product in person.
