    Lol, Pontiac's last attempt at advertising before it bankrupts maybe?

    Nice find.

    It is indeed faster than the current 5 series and has the bonus of not being phenomenally ugly like the entire current BMW lineup. Good competition along with the CTS-V will hopefully push BMW to start building cool cars again, instead of tedious barges for the Exec-set.

    I would consider being am importer for Holden fascias for the Pontiac.

    You look at the falling U.S. dollar, the lack of BMW's desire to build cool cars and GM's specific targeting of the 5 series. I think this car is going to be a hit.

    All is fair in love and war..

    Its an existing powertrain combination, no reason for GM to create something special just to match specs with BMW.

    The latest OZ Pontiac I believe.
    A good old pushrod V-8, rear drive and better styling than the current 5er.
    If the ergonomics are anything like my friends GTO that will be it's weak point.
    BM's build ain't that much better and the Poncho has WAY less silly gizmos.
    Given the price difference I'd take the Poncho in a New York minute.

    I would describe the interior of the new 5s as spartan. And that includes the sport. Thank goodness we dont have the Pontiac. We would be spoiled for choice
