Parking Lot Photo Shoot: 2009 Pontiac G8 V6 / Holden Commodore SV6

About the only way this Pontiac G8 could be a more perfect Holden Commodore SV6 is if it were converted to right-hand drive. All exterior and interior touches appear to be there, even the Holden logo on the steering wheel. The SV6 is the high-output 3.6 liter V6 version in its home market, probably comparable to the V6 G8 that was sold here. It certainly made me look twice.

Parking Lot Sighting: 2009 Pontiac G8 GT

This is one of those cars that I photographed because it's a personal dream vehicle of mine. The Pontiac G8 is rare enough by itself, having been produced only for the 2008-09 model years, but my dream G8 is a GT trim in Pacific Slate Metallic (aka Karma Metallic on the Holden Commodore). Pacific Slate was only available in 2009 and accounts for a mere 1748 cars - of which 690 were V6 models, 1063 were GTs and just 45 were GXPs. This one is a GT Sport with the 19-inch wheels.
