Also, a little disappointed all they did was add new wheels and a new front air-dam...
I wanted the twin-grilles on the front of the HSV model. Atleast the tail-lights...

It seems legit - there must have been an embargo, because it's all over the web now (even though still not on media.gm.com). On a side note - I'm not really interested in what Pontiac didn't do - the car just went from 361 to 400 hp, and picked up a manual trans.
The rest I can fix in a slow weekend installing a supercharger kit from LPE (if it starts to bother me). Also note that Automobile magazine compared the 2008, with a mere 361 hp, to the BMW 550. Said that it offered the same numbers and the same size, but not the same feelings as the 70K Beemer.
