No price that low. Cheapest I found was $875 for parts and labor from Goodson. But different dealerships have different coupons every month up on their website and every now and then I see one for the timing belt service.

IMO, the G8 offers more bang for your buck than any car in or near its class. I also love the aggressive euro design.

The G8 was the Commodore over in the land down under.

Had a huge array of options & trims including a wagon. The SS were the equivalent of our GTs, though I'm surprised we actually had the most powerful model w/ the GXP @ 415Bhp compared to their 360Bhp.

My friend had a 06 gto with the holden package (I guess it's called that). Had a different front bumper and had a holden badge up front, but nothing different in the back.
