His looks like a rebadged Pontiac G8 (to a Holden Commodore). He rebadged his Pontiac to look like the Australian Commodore. Giveaway is that it is LHD. Also the last Pontiac GTO was a rebadged Holden Monaro. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Monaro Last edited by dbarnblatt; 08-29-2014 at 09:25 AM. |

The Holden Commodore was sold here as the Pontiac G8, now sold as the Chevrolet SS.

The latest GTO and SS are not available in The Great White North. I guess it wasn't worth the time and money to pass Canadian regulations for the very few which would have been sold here.

I had no idea they were now selling it as the Chevy SS. Pretty cool car but my pockets are not nearly that deep. Out of the 3 the Holden has the best looking front end.

Say he paid $22,000 for it, it is an 09. That's not a lot? My 2010 Honda was more than that 2 years ago. I no one thing that is one quiet motor. I wish I could post the video.
