I think they look great-very aggresive front end. They really are a nice car, both inside and out. I think they will be a hit when they arrive in the showrooms, you guys will love em'

I'm going to agree with 94blk brd. That thing is fugly. That is a shame to because the Holden Commadore is good looking as hell. Just through a pontiac badge on it and it would have been fine.

I also seen it in person at the minneapolis auto show and think it looks really nice, I like it better then the charger, 300C and grand prix's if I had a choice I would be picking this one up, they've been comparing it with the bmw m3 and motor trend gave it a good review

Sorry for this question, but I'm too lazy to do a search. Is this car available in AWD configuration??? co'z that would definately put the icing on the cake.

I highly doubt that. GM executives always seem to know how to ruin a good thing.
