SC,

Do Chevrolet make a version of your car? Just come back from Dubai and there were lots of these Chevies, quite a few were V8 versions with quad exhausts etc and looks very similar to your VXR8?

Mostly a troll-free zone, I agree. A few exceptions that prove the rule...

Jim, the car was the Pontiac G8 in the US. Pontiac (perhaps sadly) disappeared in the GM non-restructuring fiasco. Another political fudge job, which doesn't bode well for the future...

As for the Holden, there is some discussion over its re-appearance as a Chevy for the cop car market, but nothing concrete as yet.

I do spend most of my time on s2ki in this forum now.

My car history:

MR2: 140bhp
S2000: 240bhp
M3:340bhp

so tell me, what car has 440bhp? as that's clearly my next car
A little bit different.....Link
