In addition to the code-named Z2SC "SS sedan," there is a chance the ute and wagon forms of the car could make it here, too, though they remain unapproved, according to the report. The ute (nee G8 Sport Truck) would likely arrive as an El Camino, ...

I always thought they should have come over labeled as Buicks. Look at the new Regal/Opel/Vauxhaul/Holden.


I always hold out hope, but will believe when I see. even better, if they can stick it to teh UAW management, and delete some bean counters it will be that much more better.

I'll take the wagon with a maggie. Excellent grocery getter. The ice cream will never have time to melt!

If it does show up as a RWD sedan with 350+ hp, I've found my next car.

If the Ute comes I will own one. Hopefully they broaden the availability of the LS3 and the 6 speed.

It's the Waggie Magon!


And Bradshow, you're thinking too small- think LS9 with a 6L100!

If it happens I may just consider at some point trading/selling the G8 for one...well maybe not get rid of the G8 (too much blood/sweat spent on it to let it go.

I would hope we would be looking @ Gen V's with DI that get 26ish MPG and make close to 400HP by then. Remember the L76 makes 355/361 and manages 24-25ish on plain jane fuel injectors. Maybe even a 7-8 speed Slush box? Why not? Dodge is going to revamp their powertrain with 8speed automatics this/next MY. The 6L80E design was 4 years old when it was shoved into the G8.


medium sized V6's make 300+Hp with DI these days, I don't think you'll have to blink twice to find a 350HP engine in two years.

it would almost have to be the DI engine.Does the new standards kick in in 14?
a M6 Ute with HUD for me. ok I could live without the HUD. In 2 years it could be possible for me to buy a Ute and keep the G8
