Yes, its built off the same chassis as the GTO/Commodore. (the new Zeta chassis) G8 is going to built off the same thing, and hopefully the new impala.

Yeah, WTF?

Why do they continue to hold out all this good stuff on us?

"Oh boo hoo, we're not selling anything! We're going to go under!"

Shut the hell up and sell us your better vehicles you bastards.

Its a lovely car. Definitly RWD. Its pretty much a Holden Statesman with a few cosmetic changes aswell as the sterring conversion.

They have been out here for a good year or so now, Holden have really done their homework with this model, aswell as the Commodore

I love that!! I was seriously considering a G8 next year when the caddy is paid off.
If they sold that here, I would be the first in line!
