Holden Commodore HSV LS7 (GM)
Original Australian version of the Pontiac G8. This one comes with the 505hp LS7. I'd love to see this come over to our shores

Nice finds Sean. I dig the GN. If they got rid of that Supra front bumper in favor of a GTO style bumper, I'd be all about it.
That Chevelle is pretty badass too. A world apart from the one that Aloha motors came out with. It sort of looks like a pissed off Camaro.

Yes you are. The neat part is that while these are cool and fun to us, almost none of them have the mark of a real power house money maker for the coming automotive era, or least as far as I can tell.

Dude, that's bad ass. Looks like an Americanized Maserati.

Yeah, clearly these would not be huge mainstream successes per se. Realistically cars like the Malibu, Fusion, and the forthcoming new Focus and Cruze (the replacement for the Cobalt) are much more important. Those are the Camry/Accord and Corolla/Civic competitors that GM and Ford need to keep themselves alive. Here is a picture of the Cruze, I like it better than the Cobalt.

The Dodge Demon. I always thought it was an interesting car. The only problem is that Dodge doesn't have a small rear wheel drive platform to build it off of. But if you put the turbocharged 285hp 2.4L 4cyl out of the SRT4 into the Demon with RWD, it would be pretty fun. It could be Dodge's version of the Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Redline.

This has nothing to do with the original topic but I found this McLaren F1 successor concept and it's badass

Me too. The Cobalt always bummed me out cuz the engineers did great work and the designers took the A train to snore town. The Fusion is already getting a little long in the tooth, and is made in Mexico. I'm all for Americans making American cars. This is getting complicated because some cars like the Honda Pilot are completely American designed and built, they pretty much just have an H on the steering wheel. Behold the coming era of global corporate feudalism.
