Well as a chevy!!!!
Only hours into his latest tenure at General Motors, Bob Lutz was back at what he does best, namely, slipping product information to the media and giving enthusiasts a reason to believe in the beleaguered auto (http://www.movfast.com/forums/#) company.
Asked about the future of the Pontiac G8 (http://www.automobilemag.com/am/2009/pontiac/g8/index.html), slated to end production with the 2009 model year (http://www.movfast.com/forums/#), Lutz told Automobile Magazine the car would find its way into Chevrolet (http://www.automobilemag.com/new_cars/01/chevrolet/index.html) showrooms under the Caprice name.
"The last time we looked at [the G8], we decided that we would continue to import it as a Chevrolet," Lutz said. "It is kind of too good to waste."
CEO Fritz Henderson has repeatedly denied that the G8 would survive as part of another brand, saying he's "not a fan of rebadging."
But Lutz, citing export agreements with Australia and the fact that the Holden Commodore is already sold in many countries as a Chevrolet, assured us GM would not let the car die.
