Pontiac G8 Spy Hunter Commercial

http://jalopnik.com/367806/new-ponti...weet+ass-twist

Pretty good, but Id like to see more aggressive and darker commercials for Pontiac. This would be a good commercial for the G6, but the G8 is something that should eat you alive.

All I know is if a V8 G8 is under 30k, a V8 Camaro better be too.

The car's style is growing on me, but the commercial is a little silly. I agree, the ad's should be more agressive, if not darker. I think back to the 98 TA and the commercials they had for that. A badass car with style -and- performance.

The Lumina SS is sold in the Middle East.

I know the ad was for the Middle East but I thought the Lumina SS was also sold across Europe. As you know, lots of things are sold on the other side of the Atlantic that aren't here, so I lump it all together.

Chevy in Europe is mostly a bunch of small Korean made cars...and the Corvette.

The Commodore is sold in Europe under the Opel/Vauxhaul name of VXR8.

Nope, just Al. He usually gets this stuff way before the rest of us do and posts it up.

The last car that gets blown up looks like a 2nd gen T/A.

What a stupid childish commercial. You don't even really see the car, just these cartoon images and the James Bond music. What is it trying to say about the CAR.

NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT. Why is it if Pontiac is the Performance Division, the image seems to be Chevrolet?
