|  So... They made it a wagon
Here it is, folks. The basis for the "Pontiac G8" now has a wagon form. We were told this wouldn't be coming to the US, but it's finally in AU. Behold - http://www.hsv.com.au/tourer/
Opinions? I like hatches, but that thing has to way a TON.

The Pontiac G8 is based off the Holden VE sedan. Have a look at the Holden Sportswagon (not HSV Tourer) if you want to compare. Weight of the SS Sportswagon with 6.0 V8 and manual 6 speed starts at 4075lb. http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/...?vehicleid=100 | |

I would like to debate with you over the political opinions you express but I have learned that I can't reason with an ignorant individual....

Anyone else click on the moon?  I love easter eggs! I like the rims on the W427 much more than the V style ones.
I think it looks really nice, but I also believe they've had a Commodore wagon for quite a few years.

That Car is Awesome
I love the G8 Sedan but a SportWagon would be that much better.
Considering the higher fuel costs and the fact that it would get better mpg then an SUV which is a glorified station wagon anyway it seems illogical that GM wouldn't try selling them here.
BTW

Man I love Australia for their dedication to big fast cars. In fact I could see myself living there if it were not for the bajillions of deadly flora and fauna they have there.

I love the way that HSV wagon looks, wish they would bring it over here. I love the look of the G8, but that HSV front is killer.
