We Need a Pontiac G8 Wagon

There, we said it. We want Pontiac to build a station wagon version of its upcoming G8 sedan. You see, the G8 is based on an Australian GM product called the Holden Commodore. Well, today GM revealed the wagon version of that car because, in Australia, folks — hold on to your hat — prefer wagons to SUVs.

Now, Pontiac could easily get away with adding a wagon to the G8 lineup. The Dodge Magnum proved you could sell a RWD wagon in the U.S., and Pontiac wants to shy away from non-car products — meaning SUVs. This would be a perfect fit. The 362-hp V-8 engine in the G8 GT would be great, but the 261-hp V-6 wouldn’t be bad either if you just wanted the utility.
