Yeah there's a lot of things carried over from The Holden Commodore to the G8, not only same body, chassis, V8 engine, but even the sport tuned suspension used on the Commodore SV I believe was carried over to the G8 GT.

I think right now or at least for the next two years we won't have to worry about this being available state-side. Our best indicator will be to see how soon it becomes available to the Australian market to gives us an indication of whether or how soon we can predict it coming state-side.

All I know is I like the Coupe 60 concept almost as much as I like the Camaro but I'd get whatever would be quicker, and more affordable, and I think for right now that will be the Camaro.

But how bad-ass would it be if they came out with this...

G8 Coupe (standard 3.6L V6)
G8 Coupe GT (same 6.0L 361hp 385tq)
G8 Coupe GXP (LS3 400hp)

It would be easy for GM just to do that. Although... Again we can only speculate... But either GM would come out with a G8 Coupe V6 for CAFE standards and to offer a fuel efficient model...

Or GM may not even offer a G8 Coupe GT, they may only just offer a G8 Coupe GXP, or re-name it the GTO (I hope not) and use it as their sole performance coupe...

The Solstice won't be around after 2011/2012... so that's going to be leaving the line-up... It could come around then... Who knows?

Oh yeah, and it'll weigh more than the Camaro...
