My 09 G8 GT (Holden Commodore)

Just a few pics of my daily driver. Was the first vehicle I purchased brand new, still love it.
I'm sad the next-gen Commodores will essentially be neutered crap we already have an abundance of here in the states (which means they'll try selling them everywhere by the millions.)

Lovely ride. Classy and sporty.
Too bad Pontiac's dead. I've always dreamed for a new Firebird... :|

I'd love to have one of these someday. They are a fun car to drive. Is yours a auto or manual?

I owned a few of those in the past too, squeaky interiors and all. Had a 97 Trans Am with the LT1, and a 99 Trans Am WS6 with the LS1. When I bought my G8 in 2009, they announced Pontiac was being killed off 2 weeks later and the dealership I bought it from was closed a month after I bought it lol.

Definitely fun to drive, and being 6'6" I love all the room. Is especially nice for longer road trips. Mine is just an auto, they only offered a manual in the GXPs. I got a good deal on my GT, where it would have been an extra $8k for a GXP. That said, the auto gets much better with a bit of tuning over stock.

Apparently people can't resist it when they go down by the lake. I would take no part in such a thing myself however. :D
