It's too bad we can't get this one in the US... the new 6 liter, 6-speed Holden Coupe 60.

Here's the story:

I like it!

It will be interesting to see what the production version looks like versus the concept because I think those wheels add alot to the look.

It would be really cool if they'd bring it over and call it a GTO...

Just posted some more pics... had a problem with the server. It would make a great GTO!

Looks like a souped-up coupe version of the G8.

It technically is. Which is why it should be the GTO with the LS2. Considering that the G8 is the new Le Mans, it'd make sense.

I think GM would love to bring something like that over here. But unfortunately with the value of the dollar lately, they'd have to price it beyond it's market. I'm betting their profit margain on the G8's coming over here are alot less then what they figured when they first greenlit the project.

It would be cool, but I don't see it happening in the near future.

Saw it on the weekend at Melbourne Motor Show, looked great. No official go ahead yet here. It is built on G8 platform, same wheelbase.

This was also on the Holden (GM) stand,
