This means the local Pontiac G8 will be sold in two guises not available in the US (where it was a sedan only), making the ute and wagon particularly rare.
Sometimes I'm particularly scathing of Holden for treating its customers like idiots (what with Australia getting the Kalos, Cruze and Tosca foisted on them), but in this case I'm more than prepared to give Holden a standing ovation on this one.
I think it's a case of Holden trying to use all of the leftover Pontiac G8 bits up, but we'll get the Ute and the Wagon which not even America got.
Somehow it's like Holden is giving head office a giant "two-fingered salute", before leaving a great big number 11 on the pavement. The car that refuses to die, refuses to die quietly.
