Awesome, so that means I can get the G8, although they'll call it a caprice, hopefully it will still be a g8 on the inside and under the hood. I love the sleeper look. I'm gonna buy one
I already found the negative effects of driving a car that stands out like a sore thumb. I was stopped the other night for a plate light being out. The bulb just burned out a few miles before I was stopped. No ticket but I drove around for months with a fog light out in my Bonne and never got stopped.

I'd rather buy some Holden badges and a front facia! Mmm, much nicer.

I'd rather just de-badge the whole thing and enjoy a sleeper that blows doors off a lot of cars.

A sleeper sure, but a car that no one knows what it is is cool as well.

Thats why i said it would make a great sleeper. Besides, if its based on the G8, then you know there is going to be an aftermarket on it.

Just for laughs, de-badge it and put on some Malibu or Cavalier badges before you race somebody.

Seriously, I would buy it and try to get a G8 front fascia.
