BY KEITH GRIFFIN

It’s time to buy American again. Fans of the great domestic mus- cle cars of the past can drive the Pontiac G8 GT, a rear-wheel drive sedan that harkens back to the glory days of the ‘60s when Detroit was pumping out classic hot rods. Of course, the ironic thing is this great American muscle car is made in Australia where it’s known as the Holden VE Commodore. (Kudos to Pontiac for not importing that prep school name.) So, America’s next great muscle sedan actually should be known as “The Thunder from Down Under.” By the way, I stole that last line from somebody. I just can’t remember who. Thunder is the right word to describe the acceleration of the America’s latest muscle sedan is actually an Australian import, but don’t let that stop you from getting behind the wheel.
