Easily the best thing to come out of the now-defunct Pontiac brand in recent memory was the G8 sports sedan – based on the Australian Commodore. Not only was it an impressive performance machine, but it gave North America a taste of just how good a job Holden is doing down under.

Looking to satisfy that appetite, General Motors will reportedly re-introduce the rear-drive sedan in 2013 as a 2014 model year car. According to GMInsideNews, internal documents regarding the development of the car (code named ‘SS Sedan’) now have it listed as an approved program.

Delayed several times, the new launch date is designed to follow with the introduction of a new Commodore in Australia.

With the Pontiac brand now gone and no indication from General Motors to revive it, look for a Chevy bowtie to grace the grille of this new rear-drive machine.

Less certain, but not entirely ruled out, are the introduction of two additional Commodore-based models for North America: the Holden Ute (El Camino?) and Holden Commodore SportWagon. The future of these two vehicles depends on the success of the sedan, as well as the effect of rising gas prices on the buying habits of consumers.

Très très très bonne nouvelle. J'visais pour une voiture neuve dans 2-3 ans, je sais maintenant laquelle se sera !
 
Je serai de nouveau client chez Pontiac quand il y aura un revival de la firefly. La marque a commencé à mal allé quand ils l'ont arrêté en 2000/2001.

Oui justement. Pontiac étant a GM, mais GM va sortir un modele sous la baniere GM basée sur la Holden Commodore de 2013-14 a venir.
De toutes facon, GM aimait bien ca avoir 1 modele sous 3 banieres différentes.
 
They died because half of the models were clones.

But the firefly turbo was the shit. And there was some soft touch plastic on the dash.
 
They need to make the 6spd manual available on all models for me to even think about it...the GXP was sweet but way to expensive for most people. The GT with a 6 spd would of been perfect.
