Pontiac G8: Classic American V8 Power From Australia
On April 27, 2009, GM announced they were ending the Pontiac brand. Often an also-ran in GM's lineup, the brand's lineup was built on rebadged vehicles from GM's other nameplates. Their swan song was a high power rear wheel drive sedan hearkening back to the Bonneville and Le Mans models that battled with many other makes for supremacy in the muscle car era. Ironically, this modern rendition is also a rebadged vehicle: Australia's Holden Commodore.
While NASCAR has gone from modified street cars to race-spec vehicles, Australia's V8 Supercars race series has remained close to the stock cars they're based on, adding race engines, roll cages, and minor aerodynamic tweeks. Like rally racing, the Supercars series' homologation rules require Holden to offer a certain number of road-legal vehicles for sale to the public. While the World Rally Championship has brought us Mitsubishi Evos and Subaru Impreza STi's, Holden Special Vehicle (HSV) builds the Clubsport models for this purpose. The end result is a modern rear wheel drive car powered by GM's legendary small block V8.
Seeking to return to the brand's performance roots, GM sold the Commodore in the states: first in coupe form as the GTO, and later as the four-door G8. The top-of-the-line GXP is powered by a LS3 6.2l V8, the same engine used in the current Corvette. It produces 415hp and can reach 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, but only manages an EPA-estimated 15 city/20 highway mpg, a far cry from the Corvette. The regular G8 was offered with an Australian version of the 2006 Corvette's LS2, managing 15 city/24 highway mpg, only slightly less than the base V6.
The gamble wasn't a success, which may be a good thing for buyers. This rather ordinary-looking vehicle is a performance bargain thanks to massive discounts from the dead brand, putting it in the price range of a regular family sedan. It may not be the end for the Americanized Commodore, as there are rumors it will be brought back as a Chevrolet, but only as a police car.

Corvette (Paperback) $29.06 For 60 years, the Chevrolet Corvette, arguably one of the most recognized sports cars in the world, has been the American sports car, an icon of American horsepower and performance. The list of the car`s accomplishments both on and off track is legendary. Chevrolet has never built an ordinary Corvette. Even the most mundane coupe draws a crowd everywhere it goes.

Award-winning author and photographer David Newhardt tells the full story of these legendary machines in 300-plus photos of 50 potent Corvettes, from the original 1953 roadsters right up to the high-performance, high-tech beasts Chevrolet builds today, like the supercharged ZR-1, one of the fastest cars ever built for use on public roads. With hundreds of photos and concise, entertaining profiles, this is a book for every Corvette enthusiast. |

Hyundai Coupe $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Hyundai Coupe, also known as Hyundai Tiburon in some markets, is a compact coupe that was produced by Hyundai from 1996 to 2009. The Tiburon name itself means shark in Spanish. Tiburon is the name given to the current North American, Australian, New Zealand, South African, and Austrian production of the vehicle, though it is called the Hyundai Coup in other world markets. It has been known by the moniker Turbulence and Tuscani in the home South Korean market. The model has been released in two generations (RD and GK) over its lifespan and in that time these generations have been subject to periodic facelifts. These facelifts have attempted to keep the car up to date with various safety improvements and a mixture of changes to exterior and interior styling. The RD Tiburon was in production for 5 years from 1996 to 2001. The GK Tiburon has been produced since 2002 and is still in production in its latest guise.
