3800 Octobers Motor Trend - basic Pic

[AdamGTP7]

I just saw this today and it shocked the crap out of me! Great looking car! new body style and engine. Best of all RWD + manual + V-8!!!

"Keeping to the tire tracks of the GTO, GM would like to export its new rear-wheel drive v-8 Sports sedan to the U.S. as the next Pontiac Grand Prix" - Motor Trend

6.0-Liter V-8 362-HP RWD

The motor trend magazine is called GRAND PRIX REBORN, front cover has a red "GP". Vol.58 No.10

The body is based on the Holden SS-V8 With redisigned fenders and front bumper to make it look more like a US pontiac. The "Gp's" front bumper resembles The GTO alot.


NOT EXACT PICS!!! THE "GP" IS A LITTLE RE-DESIGNED. PICS ARE IN THE MOTOR TREND MAGAZINE OF WHAT IT MAY LOOK LIKE.

A RWD V8 GP would be cool. But if you look at it, it looks like its just a another GM rebadge of this:

 

[630_GTO]

i saw that in a motor trend mag i wana say, but once again there copyn it from another car, its nice, but i dont hink it says grand prix

 

[imported_1fastGTP]

yea it doesnt look like a prix... its not my cup of tea.. but the power hell id take it. and i read also on there about a novi?!? whats up with that i got lost.

 

[630_GTO]

its not blown thats just what pontiac calls there stronger V8, if it was a blown v8 w only that much hp that would suck

 

[thesexy99GT]

i think calling a 4 door version of a GTO isn't right.. they hit it on the head when they said it just doesn't seem like a grand prix... brand prixs have nicer curves, and just something about them that this car in no way captures. but i don't think too many would bitch about the powertrain... .hell i'd drive it... but i'd rather get the GTO. GM's use of the holden line is actually kind of starting to piss me off... they could have had a golden opportunity recreating the GTO, don't get me wrong, love the car, but it doesn't seem to fit the name... just like the prix

X2.

Then again, his car is just a rebadged camaro.

Looks very simular to me. But after reading the magazine, its a Holden Commadore SS-V from Austrailia that GM wants to slap Pontiac Badges on it, change the front end to classic pontiac style and make it so it meets US emission requirements, and call it a Grand Prix. GM did the same thing with the GTO, took a Holden Austrailian car, changed a few things and called it a GTO, that didnt do well at all, and now GM doesent even make it anymore.

<GM Flame>I think GM needs to learn that rebading the same car 5 times or putting SS badges on everything doesent sell cars. In todays age selling 300HP+ Family sedans itsnt going to cut it either because of the gas prices, making this would be cool but if I was GM I would invest my money into Hybred cars.
</GM Flame>

In the mag it says the Holden Commodore SS-V has 6.0 Vortec V8 with 362HP 390TQ engine with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed auto trans.

Then again, his car is just a rebadged camaro.

Your car is just a rebaged Impala, Monte Carlo, AND Regal.

I think that car looks more like a mazda 6 or an acura tl than the caddy.

 

[CoolGTX]

ive personally driven around in the 6 speed/vette motored caddy, and it is a dream to drive, which i'm sure the GP would be a close clone. i'd buy it if its cheaper than the caddy, which it should be.

:iagree:

I'd take a not as nice version for a better price thats for sure. Go drive a CTS-V and tell me that isnt a kick ass car.

 

[alexgtp]

as always Gm is late to everything. They should have let holden design their cars. Or imported these bad boys 6 yrs ago!

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

holden design=dyno queen=horrible traction issues=look at new GTO= my $.02
