And for the people not looking at something that "sporty," it is too expensive. Power is not that important here...image is everything, and it looks too close to a Grand Am. If it a great success you'll see why I don't decide what cars to bring over, but I think Pontiac is trying to fill a market niche that doesn't exist. We'll see...
Not sure what the price is, but that looks damn sexy (even sporty laugh ) If the price tag is around a stang (would imagine this is what GM uses to replace the F-body) then I'd take a set wink

All my comments are based on the assumption that car will cost around $40K. That is what I was told, this could VERY easily be incorrect. Obviously price is the largest factor, so take my opinions with a grain of salt and a $40K price tag.

"The Commodore is not a fuggin' Cadilac Catera. How many times does this have to be said!?
And the Ford Falcon is not a Mondeo/Contour either."

The Commodore is closer to the Catera than the Falcon is to the Mondeo. I.E. the roots of both those GM cars is the Opel Omega.
