reminds me of the new gto as well. its alright. if they offered that as a gtp (supercharged) it could be really fast.

i dunno if it mentions it in that page, but GM is turning Pontiac into a COMPLETE real wheel drive company. pretty weird, different and cool at the same time.

that can't be what the stock car will look like. thats an obvious "body kit" if i've ever seen one. it just doesn't seem like that is what it would look like rolling off the assembly plant.

other than that, its okay. for an American car

Pontiac Picture

That's the direct picture of that. Hey I don't think that's the real thing. It looks like some chop. If it's not then it looks like it came straight from Y2K. why the hell do we need another regular sedan. we've got plenty. seems like they would be trying to push the market, "here's more sh*t looking cars buy them!"

Yet another Pontiac that will be crowding the used car lots once people realize that 362 hp gets you no where when you are broke down.

if you bring up the pic that HKC put up, and put your finger over the moustache/grille on the hood, the front looks like an Eg Civic... I always loved the look of that gen civic, but that design was in 15 years ago.

I'm going to call shenanegans on this pic, as Pontiac would never leak a pic of their new car all nice and polished, only to have the quality of the image look like it came out of a used-car lot newspaper.

if you read the replies under the picture.. somebody mentioned that it looks like a Holden Commodore with a pontiac grill. It is surmised to be a photochopped grill onto the Holden.





Different Grill, different front bumper, flaired front fenders.. it's definatly a Commodore
