General Motors Design posted photos of a concept car that never went into production and that few people knew about, the Pontiac G8, on its official Instagram profile.
This car is the last concept car produced by Pontiac before GM shut down the brand in 2009. It was created at Advanced Studio in California and was supposed to represent a fully functional vision of future Pontiac design, but it never happened.
The problems for GM started at the beginning of the 21st century when this American multinational automotive manufacturing company began to shut down its brands one by one: Oldsmobile, Hummer and Saturn, and in 2010 they did the same with Pontiac.
Visually, the G8 resembles the sedan of the same name that an Australian subsidiary company of General Motors, Holden (formerly known as General Motors-Holden), sold in Australia under the name Commodore. It should be noted that Holden sold this car around the world under different names: Chevrolet Lumina (Middle East, South East Asia, South Africa), Chevrolet Omega (Brazil) and Holden Commodore (VE). Also, there were other ideas related to the G8, but they all failed in the meantime.
