“The best Pontiac ever…” According to Edmunds Insideline thats the goss on our home grown muscle sedan, the VE Commodore SS, dressed in Pontiac drag.

“Forget for a moment that in every performance categorythe G8 GT walks all over the Charger R/T. Go ahead and overlook the G8’s more aggressive decoration and attractively sinister countenance. Just concentrate your mind on this: The Pontiac is cheaper. Its $29,995 base price is $1,460 under the cost of a Charger R/T, and the as-tested price of this red G8 GT is a thick $3,810 less than the as-tested price of this Charger R/T.”

The G8 GT’s $32,745 price is a flat raging bargain. And we Americans love bargains — even when the car is built in Australia.
