" Although the GTO was something less than a smash hit, Pontiac is going back to Australia and GM&amp;#039;s Holden unit to develop a new 4-door rear-drive flagship sedan called the G8. Not only does the G8 sport two more doors than the GTO, it has bolder styling out of the box \u2014 with a prominent split grille and hood scoops \u2014 as well as a choice of V-6 or V-8 power.   Riding on a 114.3-in. wheelbase, the base G8 is equipped with a 261-bhp 3.6-liter V-6 mated to a 5-speed automatic, while the LS2 V-8 model, which makes 360 bhp, comes with a 6-speed automatic. A sport package with tauter suspension and a rear spoiler also boasts a 6-speed manual gearbox and can be ordered on both the V-6 and V-8 versions. The G8 is set to be launched during first quarter of 2008 and, with a base price of about $30,000, is expected to supplant the Grand Prix as the division&amp;#039;s full-size entry.
