What just might be my perfect car

I've been hearing the rumors for a while that Pontiac was going to replace the archaic Pontiac Grand Prix (seriously, the car basically dates back to the 1980s) with a rear-wheel drive sedan imported from Australia. GM owns the Australian company Holden and has previously rebadged the Holden Monaro as the lackluster and bland Pontiac GTO. However, Holden's latest sedan, known as the Commodore, is a spectacular vehicle. This is the car GM is redressing as a Pontiac, and here it is from Edmunds:




I can't wait for it to arrive at dealerships next January (2008). It'll come with either a 260 horsepower V6 or a 360 horsepower V8 and one of three transmissions, depending on which engine you choose. And all the transmissions are modern contraptions, unlike the four-speed automatic in my current Altima (I hate this transmission with a passion). Naturally I want the V8. The Holden version is even more attractive (no stupid hood scoops). This car makes me want to drive an American manufacturer again (even though the car is Australian). Unfortunately it will almost certainly be too expensive, plus it'll still be very new when my current Altima's lease is up. One can always dream, though.
