The car known as the Pontiac G8 GXP in America is actually an Australian model by GM-owned Holden called the HSV Clubsport R8. The Australians now get a wagon version of the muscle-sedan, called the HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer. 

The Australian-market Clubsport R8 has a new 425 hp 6.2L LS3 V8. The new LS3 V8 [...]]]></description>

Holden, the Australian arm of General Motors, showed off this &#8220;Coupe 60&#8243; concept version of its Commodore sedan. As we all know, the Commodore is sold in North America as the Pontiac G8. If this two-door car goes into production, it&#8217;ll be a direct replacement for the now-cancelled Pontiac GTO, if it comes here.

Holden, the Australian division of General Motors that gave us the Pontiac GTO and G8, have cooked up a new car based on the same underpinnings. To be shown at the Melbourne Auto Show today, the tentatively-named HSV Commodore is a new super-expensive offering with the 505 hp Corvette Z06 engine.

Ford has redesigned their limited-to-Australia Falcon, calling it the FG series. While it looks great, it really looks like more of a minor update on an outdated car. But with rear-wheel-drive and insanely powerful engine, who cares. 
The cars will debut at the 2008 Melbourne Auto Show soon. Shown above is the FPV model by [...]]]></description>

Americans are forced to feel content with the 360 hp Pontiac-badged G8 sedan, but its Australian maker is really having some fun with it for their domestic market. The 400 hp HSV versions of the Commodore (aka G8) sedan were released a year ago in Australia, but this is the first time they have unveiled [...]]]></description>
