So if GM is following this trend of bringing their desirable cars from overseas to North America to replace the bland and boring rental-car level products they're selling here, does that mean Ford is going to do their usual "wait a few years and see if it works out" before they jump on and do the same?

Well it will be built in Australia, and shipped here, for those that don't know it's the Holden VE Commodore SS. I have heard that it will start in the mid $20 and go up to the mid $40's

All good GMs from this point on (aside from the Camaro and Corvette) will be either Aussie fare or Euro stuff.
At least we know where the good designers relocated to! :lol: I think it would be worth a rental :)

I dunno, looks nice but the last Aussie car that GM imported (The US only GTO) was rife with quality issues and parts were on backorder forver.
If GM gets those issues straightened away, it's certainly a striking looking car. NefCanuck

I was talking about the photo itself, the G8 in that pic is the GT, the regular G8 will have red tail lights like the Mitsubishi Lancers GS & ES, and Clear lights like on the OZ edition Lancers.
