My new Whip.......

[cawimmer430]

That was V8 Bonnevilles. My car is rear drive.

Ah. My bad. 

I hope you are not serious.

I thought this thing was FWD.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

...who cares?

I'm suprised GM has been able to keep the lid on the styling of the C7! We all know how long the Camaro was paraded around before going on sale!

It's been on the Corvette since '78, and give the Corvette excellent rear visibility.

Maybe not.  Someone at Jalopnik said they saw and un camoed car at GM.  They used that info, then used it to render/draw what they think a ZR1 model might look like.




Since then GM said they might go back to the drawing board, and asked Jalopnik to take the pictures down.

Here's a toned down, more production ready version.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Nice!

[GoCougs]

Nice - I'm really liking white. Just turned in a white service loaner today - shows dirt but doesn't show minor nicks, scratches and scrapes (unlike my dark blue car I just bought)...

Thanks! The car is a one owner trade for a new Maxima. And it has all the service records. It's not as fast as the Vette but it's damn quick for a car this size.

Love these cars.  The best Pontiac ever built; too bad it was actually built by Holden, and it was the last good car branded a Pontiac, but still.  Love it.

New cars come in threes! First me, then Cougs, now Z28! Awesome car!

You forgot about my VAN. What's the matter, scared of the torque converter crawl?

This only applies to cars that are no more than 5 years old!

That never gets old.

Awesome, awesome car. When you announced you got a new car, I expected you to get a CTS. This was a pleasant surprise.

[GoCougs]

By my research it's a virtual tie between the G8 GT and G37...   

[Vinsanity]

Hey, now. A CTS would've been equally as awesome.

I've been driving its Aussie cousin - the Holden Sportwagon in SV6 guise. There's a plethora of different models available here, starting with the cooking 3.0 models, going up through the mildly heated up SV6 with its 3.6 litre engine and then (not in the rental fleets) the 6.0 litre SS models which would have been really cool to get. And then there are the HSV cars. Until a couple of months ago the Commodore range was the best selling car in Australia (it has now lost out to the Mazda 3!).

I liked the Sportwagon - 'twas a good rental device, far more interesting than a Camry! Shame about the vast numbers of speed cameras here which prevent you from enjoying it too much!

Nice car!  I see a few of them up here.  Retired GM workers (Oshawa) cashing in on their car bonus.  One of the few GMs I really like.

Thanks. I don't see many of them here either. People keep asking me what kind of car is it? I think I'm gonna de-badge it so I won't have to see myself on every corner........

I would have loved to have the station wagon version.

[hotrodalex]

The Ute version is the best.

Haven't we concluded that those images aren't accurate yet?

[Eye of the Tiger]

I don't think I could possibly like the C7 more than the C6, and I want a cheap C5.

[Northlands]

Nice machine, man. The color really works on that car. I'm sure this is the same model I saw on a lot a few days ago when I was looking at mileage misers. A hard car for me to walk away from. 

[r0tor]

Nice choice on the new ride

Thanks fellas! Im already ordering mods.

[omicron]

Good man! A fine choice.

[Vinsanity]

Good man! A fine choice.

Is it weird for you, seeing a faux-BMW grille on a Commodore with LHD?

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Good man! A fine choice.

Thanks! I'm really liking this car but the Gauges for the Battery and oil pressure suck!

I think the Pontiac nose looks marvellous!

Oh, lord, those horrid red lines above the air vents? I don't blame you. Dreadful.
