Alright.

As much as i would like to see them called holden in the U.S, I have to say to make life easy calling them pontiac or chev makes life easier to sell them for less confusion.

It will feel like a car, And trust me until you peer over your shoulder you wouldn't know any difference.
It is offering people that wont to hold a touch more but only need 2 seats and simply a sedan or huge 4wd type would just be a waste. Ad to that it can perform with performance sedans it's a total package,
Could be called a 2 door car with overly large boot and carrying capacity.

Also by 2010 you will have available the V6 direct injection motor that's in the Cadillac now with 6 speed auto.
Fuel will be down 15-20%.

But on your other question about fuel prices and large motors, In OZ i cant speak for the U.S, V8 sales are at all time highs even with fuel a record highs.

The V-6 will be handy then.

What I'm talking about was that people here buy the G8 for the sake that it's a G8- not because they need a bed to carry stuff, but that they want it because it's a modern El Camino. It would just be a waste of gas for those people, just like the SUV craze.

And yes, V8s I think are still selling like hotcakes, especially when they're in SUVs.

I never noticed how bad fuel economy of SUVs were until I went to the auto show. Many of the large SUVs and pickups showed highway MPG under 20.
