As you know,
Pontiac has gone down under for their next sport sedan and picked up the Aussie icon Holden Commodore- a smart move indeed. But where does the future lie for this Aussie rebated sedan in our beloved United States?

GM won’t bring the 420 hp model to the states because it would have to be sold at a higher price point, that right now Pontiac’s image just can’t support. It would be a miserable failure to sell a $50K Pontiac sedan. The G8 GT will have more power at as good or better of a price than all of its competitors. The 5.7 Hemi Charger RT will cost about $1k more and have less power, and a 5 speed auto vs a 6 speed auto or stick in the G8.
And people that buy M series BMWs don’t want a Pontiac they want a M series BMW.
