Holden SSX - sweet

Dropped 2" w/front plates removed. LS1 V8, 4WD 300+hp...

Very sweet design :P

Hopefully, Pontiac will bring this over & hope that Holden quality is better than Pontiac also. I'll take that over an AudiS4 anyday.

Well, Pontiac is bringing the Holden 2dr coupe over as their GTO, so they might bring this over as their 4-dr sport saloon

Pontiac should just get rid of all its crappy cars, and absorb the Holden line. That car is FUCKIN HOT. LS1 + 4WD = OMG

I don't understand the reasoning, but OK.

Umm, i don't see it, if anything it looks like a beefed up TSX.

Looks like a sweet car. It will be interesting to see if Pontiac brings it over. I'm not a big fan of domestics in general...but even though it might be a Pontiac, it's still a Holden at heart.

Um...I hate to be a party pooper here, (and this maybe because I'm such a newbie) but what does this have to do with CL forums? Just curious.

Oop, my bad. Sorry.

Yes, it's a great looking car. And Holdens have a great rep...why is it taking so long to see cars like that in the states. The GTO is a great first step. Has Pontiac officially announced the SSX or any other Holdens?

damn, beautiful car. I wouldn't mind getting my grubby hands on one. Charles, on a side note, think you might want to take the MR2 to the track on Nov 22nd?

Love that car and especially the wheels!!!

Now, for a dumb question...I am guessing that Holden is the Australian version of Pontiac? And is Vauxhall the same as GM or Chevy? When I was in England I saw Vauxhall vehicles all over the place and thought they looked like GM or Chevy.

Holden is GM's Australian's division or subd. of GM...
