HSV VE eye candy

Love 'em both!

Wow, that wagon would be perfect Magnum competition.

Yup!

The pair of them are the modern equivalent of my two project cars!

I'd love to see all four side-by-side in my barn. :AH-HA_wink:

H@T!

Pontiac G8 SportWagon anyone?

[K.C.]

Mmmmmm, those hit me right in the naughty parts! I'm feelin the vapors now!

[GMTruckGuy74]

Pontiac G8 SportWagon anyone?

Most definitely. I would seriously consider a G8 wagon next summer if it was available when my Envoy lease expires. Come on GM... don't disappoint us!

[GMTruckGuy74]

Wait a minute... did Holden officially release the wagon yet to teh public? How come this is the first time I'm seeing it? Anyway, I would be extremely ecstatic if it too came over here for 2008 as a Pontiac. It definitely has my attention.

[Camino LS6]

You might get the chance,Roger.

The word is that a case is being made to do just that!

And no, the wagon has not been officially released yet. These pics originated from an Australian website.

Don't forget that these are HSV models that we may never see.

There aren't any plans for a G8 wagon as of now. The Holden version starts production in late February.

According to GuionM, a case is being made for the G8 wagon right now.

Seems it was a little tidbit he ran across while searching for information on the Ute.

I don't doubt that they're pushing for it, but I am certain it has not been approved.

Also, sorry to disappoint GMTG, but the G8 wagon is not going to make it here by next summer, I fear. The Commodore wagon doesn't start production 'til late-Feb 08. I guess if the G8 started right after then it would make it here, but I sort of doubt it will start more than a couple months after the Commodore.

[regfootball]

H@T!

we agree! i am in love with this car!

i sure hope it has AWD.

my lease ends in fall 08. but i am sure GM will take 5 years making this reality. why can't they get their crap together and have the wagon ready to go when the sedan arrives here?

GM would be foolish to not add this to US G8 lineup . I see Magnum's everywhere . This would be more on the scale of a BMW or Merc sport wagon , I think it would do very well at a low volume . I think it would sell better actually than a El Camino .

[jbartley]

ZEXY! i totally expect pontiac to get this to pair with the G8. it's a no brainer.

very attractive, and will do well. Just don't have crappy base models. it's about performance here.

[DetroitNut90]

The brakelights on the wagon could've been executed better. Otherwise, both look great.

[ocnblu]

Whoa... that wagon is too hot to handle. If we've gotta have the G8 sedan, then this would be an excellent addition to that lineup.

[K.C.]

There's something so cool about a wagon that goes like stink. It's the ultimate sleeper.

[RJB]

I like it but it also looks very long to me, but I usually get that all the time...lol!

[toesuf94]

G.M. - I pledge to you that if you will bring the wagon here, put the LS3 in it, and execute it along the lines of the G8GT - I will buy one immediately or sooner! Where and to whom do I make the check out to for the deposit?

Lutz: It would be a major failure on your part to NOT put that wagon on our shores within the next year of our lives. And do not be skimpy on the hot colors either!!! That eye seering green and the bright colors will be just the ticket to put the SUV crowd into these NON BORING cars!

[K.C.]

Wagons are very practical and in the days of $3/gallon gasoline they do offer great utility in a well handling package, and with a V6, great mileage. Bring it.

[meekin111]

The UTE is a HSV, has the same frontend as the HSZ sedans (possibly G8GXP).

The wagon isnt a HSV but instead the Holden SSV model.

I believe you are correct.

[ZL-1]

the wagon has SS badges

A wagon would make a lot of sense in 2 ways.

1) To capture some escaping SUV customers (i.e. people who want something smaller and cheaper than an SUV, yet still need utility)

2) It would give Pontiac a unique offering that no other american division (at GM) has.

[cyclonic]

I hope you guys get these cars... cos they be luuuuuuuuuurvely...

Hold on, a Holden post where PCS isn't being negative? What the!!!

I'd consider replacing the Envoy (lease) with a G8 wagon. I've always loved station wagons and I like the G8 - what a perfect combination!

[regfootball]

here's the deal, i read on another site soemone says the wagon is at least 2 years away in AU.

complete and total crap if you ask me....it was explained as spacing out the new products over a period of time to maintain interest in the model line.

what if i want the car NOW? that is the bull$h! that continually afflicts GM.

If an AWD g8 wagon is not available when my lease is up next fall and GM card is burning a hole in my pocket, then f-ck you, GM. Ford or someone else will get my business.

I honestly would even consider the ute if I didn't need a back seat for the kid.

The Wagon will be released in Australia around March next year, this is planned (I have read) to take attention off the new generation Ford Falcon which is planned to launch then too. In reality the wagon is probably ready for production now.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pontiac get a version of this and the Ute to create a diverse and interesting G8 lineup.

Thanks for the info. I figured it would be soon for the wagon because it looks too production ready for being two years away.

Be careful what you wish for! :AH-HA_wink:

G8 GXP Wagon with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION option please.

Wagon looks fantastic. I think sacrificing space for style is a move in the right direction and they will still offer more space to fit your new BFT than most wagons.

If that is the new Maloo then HSV will struggle to keep up with demand as it looks awesome. I think Holden has 2 winners on their hands.

Life is good.

When I buy a decent camera!
