I saw this on the GTO forum a week or two ago.. I'd imagine they had left over G8 parts that needed to be used rather than scrapped. Special edition ftw?

I was thinking it was due to leftover parts as well, they even have the special edition for the commodore... but did they fill in the arrowhead holes?

That's what I was thinking. They probably filled it from the primer stage and did it that way. I believe the Sportwagon also has a special edition. I know the Arrowheads aren't there, but I'm not sure other than that how it was done. I mean it's pretty cool, I'd take a RHD G8. Although it'd have to be an automatic since I don't think I could drive a manual! ha.

And I read that there is different suspension I think? Maybe I read that wrong.

Ironically I just posted a video from Top Gear of this in the Other Cars section and the video also shows a supercharged V8 special edition, well techincally the video is of the Vauxhall badged cars.

I really doubt it is to use the leftover parts. Considering a mold makes the bumpers in like 40 seconds. I built the air boxes for our cars for about 2 months and you wouldn't believe how fast those things go from plastic pellets to what they look like in your car(grand prix) or other 3800 series 3 vehicles. Also built the air box/intake for the z06 corvette...those were sexy.

GM probably had a contract set with that plant to make x amount of the split nose fascia. Therefore it is like using extra parts, because they needed to finish making them. It's not profitable to only make a few parts and quit early.

I agree, its a damn shame they didn't release it in the US. But the regular G8 Sedan is still freakin awesome!

I think Holden should break out in the american market. I buy one.

At least the G8 lives on in Australia. We need to get this country back on track with a little help from down under.

It's the G8 ST that they nixxed from Pontiac ever making NICE!!!! I would like to have Australians Cars but i wouldn't want to live there. They monitor your internet usage way too much! You can't get any games over a certain rating, and all porn is blocked on the internet.

Also i have heard that its really hard to import any Holden Vehicle to the States due to EPA regs.
