Thanks! I wonder why they have that old Grand Prix concept on there though?

Must be trying to show a comparison of the crappy design Pontiac came up with and the good one Holden made.??:bunny:

But in high res form? Background sized?

Because, it was the first time Pontiac used the name G8. They get filed by key words.

Probably, that GP is hideous with those scoops.

Did you guys notice in this picture http://gm.wieck.com/forms/gm/previewpage?035704that it tells the engine code. "L76" Has the exact v8 engine in the car been confirmed yet?

Yup it has. Check one of the thread DY started, it's in there.

LOL it's pretty obvious now. He now has a section named "V8 Engine Tech (L76)". Oh well.

My quick observations-

parking brake is on the drivers side
looks like they are using the new flipkey aswell
nice stitching on the door panel

That flip key will be a blessing. That definately needs to be optional at least.

You mean, like a Merc key, where it folds back into itself?

I'm just tickled pink that there are steering wheel controls!

For some reason the rear bumper just needs something more. Maybe it's just because I'm coming from the Grand Prix community with the Pontiac along the bottom back and some sort of design to the bumper itself. I like the grill on the bottom back but unless it's internally covered won't debris get stuck in there and look like crap? Just one more thing to be meticulous about when cleaning. :D

Suppose with the different key design I won't be able to use my fiance's Silverado key to open the door like it will on my Prix??

All in all, very pleased to finally see it. They did keep with that "pontiac" look on the front and I'm very happy with that. Thank you to all who have helped bring all these great pictures and information to the rest of us.

Thanks again and looking for to more!

Yep. At least it's better than the boat oar the GTO owners have.

VW keys also fold which are very nice

Yup Grand Prix brings up too many bad memories for people. Like their absolutely horrendous interiors.

I liked the layout. I just didn't like the plastic feel to it. I hated the lower intake manifold design WAY worse than the interior.

I heard the concept color is NOT an option, if that's true, that stinks because other than black or MAYBE red, that's the color I'd pick.

I found this pic from back when GM released pics of the Commodores. One key is a flip key and one is like the GTO.

Maybe they will offer the Cyclone Gray Metallic Color from the GTO's it's kind of similar and still looks pretty sweet. Plus I know that Holden has it because they have already used it.
