that is a good looking car

Looks too much like a toyota from the rear though. They sucked in the trunk area a little too much and gave it a narrow a$$.

I agree, it looks to dispraportionately tall for it's width. Looks good, just wish it was a bit wider. looks like it could flip over LOL.

they actually look wider than taller, based on the VE commodore chassis... i was being followed by one of the lang lang (holden proving ground) test vehicles on the way home from work....... i couldnt get any photos with the moby - tricky buggers slowed right up and stuck on the high beams so i couldnt take any photos or any decent ones, no they look tough as nuts in the flesh, in my opinion i recon they look better than the Commodore VE range. cheers from down under, Bryan

Adding to my other post, brace yourselves for the "sports truck"
"utes" as theyre know over here you will have plenty of fun as well as some "haulin arse" practibility thrown in to help moving those slightly larger things from "A" to "B"
with HP tuners do believe theyre all set for these vehicles unless holden make changes to the computers - could be a possibility if they drop a different 'donk' in em to what we use here, trust Bill and the HP team will be all over it!

to add a bit more for you lucky US residents you have open slate to rename the "sport truck"

looking thru few of the threads have to say EC TUNE and Chris of HP have already discussed about the sports truck

Maybe it's jut the angle and video then. I saw the video on Fquick and the front and rear view made it look too tall.

I'm thinking about buying one of these.

Overall, the G8 looks sharp. The front end looks mean while it sit's on stylish wheels. However, the tail lights look horrendous in person with it's small red dot housed in a huge clear box.

Nah.....Tojo copied the GM car!

Pity they couldn't copy the class leading handling and the raw US Muscle power!

I have a co worker picking theirs up tomorrow. I cant wait to get the HP on it. Anyone have a tune for CA and exhaust they want to share?

[BSmith]

When you lower them they gain at least 2 feet in width. Makes the car look a LOT better.

Good looking car for a 4 door
