That has got to be one of the worst things I've seen in a long time. Where to start...fucked up front end with plastic, leds and a weird sort of E90 pre-facelift grille. Those wheels are terrible too.

FAIL.

desired..............? uh they have some guts to actually make a plate out of that.

tail lamp looks like the previous model covered up in yellow

im glad pontiac is gone... vauxhall is on its way. and hope holden is nothing like the other two.

Mahmood07 · 12-15-2010, 02:14 AM

Now you can have a Vauxhall all riced up from the factory!

mtla4 · 12-15-2010, 03:13 AM

Where to start...fake MK5 GTI front bumper/grill, Fake Audi LED, Fake Bmw kidney grills, ugly wheels, cheapo ISF/M1 side vents....I didnt look at the back I have to go to sleep this thing is going to give me serious nightmares.

WTF DID THEY DO TO IT!?!? I loved the outgoing VXR8. This looks fucked up for the sake of it. It has every tacky design element possible:
-retarded three spoke wheels
-tacked-on LEDs
-poorly integrated oversized grille with...chrome mustaches on top?
-shitty exhaust tips
-extremely fake, overly exaggerated diffuser

God damn, you have to try hard to pull shit as ugly as this off nowadays in car design.

hks786 · 12-15-2010, 04:38 AM

^^^ haha, so true.

jayely1 · 12-15-2010, 04:55 AM

Seriously has to be a joke....

ibeclueless · 12-15-2010, 05:56 AM

Well you are shit out of luck since the HSV GTS looks identical bar the badge and Vauxhall grill to the one in the pics.

Got to love those Australians, what a sense of humour.

CHCCubs · 12-15-2010, 01:21 PM

If that's what the Pontiac G8 would have evolved into, I'm glad it's gone over here.

krnboy817 · 12-15-2010, 01:22 PM

well im just glad the ponitac G8 is gone. and i think its time that all cars related to it needs to be gone as well.

sucks that they used to be so good... what happened?

things like these makes me want to be a car maker... and make me think i will succeed like no other.
