Since 1979 that sedan has been the Commodore. The Commodore has always been built in a right hand drive configuration and been sold in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. It has also been re-badged and sold in India as a Chevrolet Impala and in China as a Chevrolet Caprice and the United Kingdom as a Vauxhall. More recently the car has also been marketed in the Arab Emirates. General Motors needed a four door rear wheel drive car to sell into the very lucrative North American police cruiser mar- ket and they didn’t have one. So in late 2008 General Motors began importing the re-badged Commodore to America to sell as the Pontiac G8. This required the vehicle to re-configured to a left hand driving position. The first and only time that has occurred. Three models were offered, the G8, the GT, and the GXP. The Holden Commodore has always been a 4-door sedan with a V8 motor and rear wheel drive. In more recent years Holden has introduced a V6 engine to attempt to improve fuel mileage and driveability. Australian cars have always been built as V8 rear wheel drive cars. In fact there is a racing series in Australia and New Zealand called V8 Super Car for only two cars models, the Holden Commodore and the Ford Falcon. The series consists of 28 races annually and draws an average of 70,000 spectators per race. The cars are run on alcohol and deliver 690HP and run to 190 MPH making them at least the equal of Nascar in America. The Ford-Holden rivalry has always been fierce. Australian cars have always been more European in nature, all about speed and road handling. Much more so than American cars whose focus has mainly been straight line horsepower and speed or luxury. Holden decided the best way to proceed with an American high HP version was to obtain a number of the LS-3 V8 6.2L motor and transmission set-ups used in the American Corvette and install them in the Holden as a limited production model, the Holden VE Commodore SS V-series. That car came to America as the G8 GXP car. It was meant to compete with high-powered European style sports sedans such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes at about half the price. The GXP car was tested and found to have a 0-60MPH time of 4.6 seconds and a quarter mile time of 12.7 seconds with a top speed of 109.6 MPH. Not bad for a four door grocery getter. In early 2009 the GXP car was brought to America in limited numbers. From a U Tube Pontiac Promo a total of 1829 GXP’s (awaiting confirmation Pontiac.Ca) came to America out of a total of 38,159 G8’s produced in total for America and Canada between 4 July 2007 and 18 December 2009. The other models offered were the standard G8 with V6 256HP and the G8 GT with the 6.0L V8 361HP. Only the G8 and G8-GT were brought to Canada in late 2008 and early 2009. Pontiac intended to introduce the G8 GXP and the Pontiac Ute (think El Camino) to be called the G8 ST (Sports Truck) and possibly an Estate (think station wagon) and if market sales would support it a G8 Coupe after midyear 2009. That never happened as General Motors decided to cut the entire Pontiac line in March of 2009. If you come across a GXP car in Canada it was imported from America. The pictures of the G8 ST and the G8 Coupe I saw on the net were amazing. From the photos they must have made a couple of each as concept cars. We can ply “If only” for as long as we want but that isn’t going to make it happen. I wonder what they did with the concept cars. The usual practise is to crush them after the project dies to keep them out of the publics hands. Go figure. You will remember that two things occurred in early 2009. First the markets tumbled and secondly the world went into recession. As a result General Motors along with other motor companies in America came perilously close to bankruptcy. So close in fact that they had to be bailed out by the American Government. At the time our local General Motors dealer- ships were very concerned as to what their outlook might be especially since General Motors had announced the inten- tion to eliminate at least 100 dealerships Canada wide. This resulted in local dealerships not being able to access new product to sell. You might also remember that their lots were nearly empty for a number of months. In order to obtain product to sell they determined to go south and buy whatever they could.

  • Pontiac Parisienne
    Pontiac History: 1950-1958 The name Catalina was first used on the 1950 Chieftain Series 25/27 hardtop, Pontiac's top of the line model at the time. Originally referred to as 'hard-top convertibles', these vehicles offered pillarless design in the door and window areas, along with the top-grade convertible appointments. The advantage this fixed-roof design offered was its sporty, airy feeling without the expense and drawbacks normally associated with convertibles. With the exception of the 1958 Bonneville, all Pontiac hardtops were designated Catalina from 1950 to 1958. Powered by a flathead straight-8 engine at the time of its debut, it would receive Pontiac's new 287in³ OHV V8 four years later. 1959-1960 For 1959, Pontiac dropped the name Chieftain for its entry level model and renamed it Catalina, while demoting the former top-line Star Chief to mid-line status and expanding the Bonneville nameplate to a full flagship series that included sedans, coupes, convertibles and Safari station wagons. In the lower-priced Catalina line, Pontiac Division advertising placed higher emphasis on the top trimmed two and four door hardtops, convertible and Safari station wagons instead of the pillared two and four door sedan variants despite the fact that the four-door sedan was the bread-and-butter best seller in this line. The Catalina, though it was the lowest-priced full-sized Pontiac, was still a substantial step up from the Chevrolet Impala in trim and appointments and only a short step below the Buick LeSabre and Oldsmobile 88 in trim and appointments but priced about $100 to $200 less.
