Oh sure, the Pontiac G8 looks good. Actually it looks great. But a Pontiac G8? I still think it should have been the Grand Prix or Bonneville, but it may not matter all that much. But if you want to take the opposite direction and own the G8’s origin as an Aussie bruiser, for the right money the option is available. JHP Vehicle Enhancements in Australia will sell you the entire bodykit to convert a G8 into a Holden Commodore. It looks fantastic and it’s authentic. And you’ll be one of only a handful on the road in the U.S. Prices are steep at $2000-$4000 plus shipping, paint, and installation. But beauty is worth ramen.

I think that the G8 should be called the Pontiac Commodore.
I saw a few of these Holden conversions on GTOs, and thought they looked really bad. Maybe this JHP conversion looks cleaner.
Ah…much better.
0 is the proper number of hood nostrils. This gives an out for the 1 reason I wouldn’t buy a G8 GXP.
Thats kinda funny considering I read the G8 began life as a Holden Commodore LOL.
BTW P. Collorafi who did work for Holden years back now runs Revenge Designs in Indiana, has its own version of the GTO, and Im thinking that just after Revenge debuts their GTM-R at the naias in Detroit they may be announcing their own version of the G8.
Revenge also distributes Harrap Performance parts in the USA and offers some real serious muscle. Their most recent GTO project puts out some 850HP and cant wait to see what they come out with next.
Revenge’s GTO won a Best in Class Award at SEMA last year BTW.
But you are right, that Holden does look right sharp.
