I had a Pontiac G8...great car that was underrated.

I actually made money selling it when Pontiac died.

Its bigger than a G8, it rides on the long wheelbase version of the platform. G8 used the short wheelbase version.

Wannabe go-fast stripes = fail.

Some outlets have incorrectly reported that the SS will be based on the Caprice PPV, which is entirely false. The Caprice PPV has a longer wheelbase than the upcoming SS.

Ohh! I saw one of these today in Hampton VA. It was a plainly marked police car. They look kinda small.

Small? They're pretty big cars.

Another example of a Holden Monaro Ute Pontiac GTO you can make money on.

That thing isn't very sharp looking. The old Caprices looked much better, less like a compact sold by the japanese, and more like a full size American car.

Here's what the new one looks like:

That's what I thought. Maybe because I was in the Avalanche. I am glad it was in front than behind me.
