That would work, too. You could keep the G8 and call it Skylark/Chevelle and this could be the Skylark GS/Chevelle SS.

I'm with you guys, I have no idea why they can't just bring this right over as-is. Who cares if it doesn't have a Pontiac badge up front? Truth be told, I like the Holden badging more.

Put them on a boat and drop them off at the GM dealers. I'm sure the customers will find them without a dedicated Holden dealership network.

Even if it's a repost, it's worth looking at again.

I'm back to some more at this gorgeous beast.

Don't care where GM puts this in the lineup, as long as it eventually sees the light of day somewhere in the world.

I posted because of the new Edmunds article about the Coupe 60, but also to show the Acura execs who peruse our site what a good looking car that elicits drools looks like. Whatever Acura has in the pipeline, it's going to need stunningly good looks to stand out from the crowd. Maybe they need to outsource their designs.
