Too bad well never get it. And I think their kangaroo math is a little fucked up, if its what I suspect, 450kw would be 612 HP

"The FPV has received an all black paintwork with only 125 units of the current GT model being manufactured. The GT's supercharged Boss V8 will develop 450 hp and 420 pound-feet of torque. "

So you would rather have a company hemorrhage money because they are attempting to put every car they make into every market, than pick and choose what markets they bring certain products to? You remember the G8 and the GTO, both Australian products that were transplanted to the US, how well did those go? Oh wait, Pontiac is no longer a company, so it must have been great, right?

They didn't go bad. Had gas not gone up they would have done better. Both cost almost nothing to bring here. And the GTO also went to Europe.

Both were a flop.

If they would've gone ok, Pontiac may have stayed in business. And if ifs and buts were candies and nuts, we'd all have a merry christmas.

It's all about money. If a company can move a bunch of enthusiast type cars then they would continue making them. The fact is that the car enthusiast number of new car buyers is low.

I don't think it was Pontiac as a brand that was the downfall but the "old gm" that fucked it. Quality was shit even just a few years ago compared to now.

Aussies seem to love awesome cars so Holden and ford continue making awesome cars. Americans suck.

Having a car like this in Ford showrooms would be a good idea just to get people talking about the product. Doesn't have to sell well to help the company, I mean hell, they made the new SHO, how many of those are on the road?

 

[Primalzer]

They sold 7,000+ SHO's in 2010, I don't think that's too bad

G8 was catching on, until GM gave up on it most interesting division.

Yup. Nobody aspires to restore a 4 door FWDer. You BRAND need aspirational crs that owner who buy the vanilla versions can identify with.

This is wonderful, coming from the guy calling the Pontiac G8 a flop. G8 sold well over 7,000 units in any year it was sold.

Remember that is JUST SHO sales not all Taurus sales, they said the SHO accounted for not more 20% of all sales I think

Basically this. Holden is a HUGE hit in Australia, especially the Ute which Americans find "ugly".

...If I could find an HSV Coupe4 Monaro, LS2 AWD goodness...
