Holden Commodore SS V-Series Special Edition: "V" Is For Pontiac

[6 Shooter]

The Pontiac G8 sedan and Ute will live on as the Holden Commodore SS V-Series in Australia with the trademark Pontiac grille. Oh, and there's a wagon.

We're not sure what hurts the most: the existence of the Pontiac G8 we're never going to get, the Sportwagon we'd have killed for, or the fact that these are all essentially GXP-spec vehicles. Prices range from approximately $41,600 for the Ute to $50,000 for the Sportwagon. It hurts to look.

I wish they'd sold the Ute version here in the US.

The sportwagon I could do, and the sedan is nice too. The ute looks too much like an El Camino for me, and I never was a big fan of El Camino's...

Wasn't there a rumor that Pontiac might live on as a niche brand? And isn't the G8 going to become the Chevy Caprice for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere?

JR - Get out there and buy a new GXP!

Jason - There was talk about the G8 going to Chevy, but was nixed quickly, but who knows whats going to happen...​

Makes me wonder if this could be a ploy to excite the down under bunch and dump excess G8 Pontiac parts in the process...

I had a couple of different ElCaminos in the 70's and 80's and always liked the versatility!
