Hey it's a Pontiac! I know they state it's only to "disguise" the real deal but hey it's a Pontiac. Yes, I'm all about GM. Personally I hope they don't use that rear end styling. Not my first pick compared to what the rest of the vehicle looks like.

I'm supposed to get excited about this????

If GM wants me back as a car buyer, that isn't going to do it!

I guess you'll be one of the few then. Alot of people have wanted this car made since GM killed the G8 even if it was just a rebadge. I'm one of them.

The G8 was a Holden Commodore I thought, wasn't it all from Australia? I didn't know it was related to any Vauxhall though. I think it's similar to the Caprice as well?

Do you not understand what a test mule is?

 

This ISN'T the production car or anything close to it. It is all the new chassis bits with the skin of the G8 bolted to it. It should be pretty obvious this isn't a production-intent vehicle given that it is right hand drive.

I think you're right kstruckcountry, it was a commodore and I believe the GTO was a Holden Monaro, at least I think so. If GM were smart, they would consider something like this for the Buick line as well. Their niche market is getting older, and it's time to appeal to a younger buyer, other than just the affluent golfers of the world. Let's see, take the two door rear wheel drive Monaro, pull the V8, drop in a turbocharged V6, paint it black...you get the idea. The greatest generation is declining in population, and with it Buick's target audience.

It's just a rebadged Holden Commodore just like the G8 was. Change the bumper covers and lights and bingo... it's a Chevrolet.

 

As somebody mentioned the GTO was a rebadged Monaro.

G8 was on same platform current Camaro is on. Thought I read somewhere the current police vehicle is also based on same platform, just different wheelbase. To me that means it will be the same platform for the new SS.

Yes I do undestand what a test mule is. So I will reserve final judgement for the final product. If they change the whole body, etc, maybe.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
