That blue is a great color. I love the Holden products and wish they would have left them alone. I would love for my GTO to have come stock with the Holden front clip, etc. Pontiac should not have messed with it.

Shoot the car just after sunrise, or about an hour before sunset. Make sure you are in an open area with direct sunlight contacting the car. No shadows on the car.
Set the camera up so that the sun is either to the direct right or left of you, never behind you, rarely in front of you.
Angle the car so that the sunlight reflects off of the car and into your camera.
Use a polarizing lens if you have one. Use a tripod if you have one.

WoWoW. Your version is so much better than ours. That car makes the G8 look like a frigging Malibu. I really like the VE GTS, that's sick. I'm so sick and tired in GM's lack of inspiration. They need to bring something radical like that to the States! That's why they're dying here. They have caught a bad case of "boring" and won't get healthy. Ever since they discontinued the Firebird, everything they touch is a boring, inspirationless stinker with sole exceptions being the C6 Corvette and the new CTS. GM should have brought the Holden model over to the States EXACTLY AS IS. Some inspiration like that may get them some much needed market share back!

I finally saw a red one at a light today. Good job Pontiac! The front end is much more aggressive than the GTO's. Im sure this car will sell even better when gas plummets.

I feel I finally found a car that will satisfy both my fun side and family side. With the Trans Am and GTO I always feel the family side gets short changed. But with the G8 I think I can cover both sides very comfortably. I am looking forward to the GXP with a M6.
