It's official! Pontiac G5 Comes to the USA.

I know we've been hearing about this for a while, but Pontiac has now made it official to the public and has thrown it up on their website.

http://www.pontiac.com/g5/index.jsp

G5 Coupe... 2.2L 148hp/152tq
G5 GT Coupe... 2.4L 173hp/163tq

Looks like us 2.4 guys are gonna be able to get our hands on the Pontiac rear lip after all!

Sure... it's a clone... but look on the bright side... more of our cars hitting the road... more aftermarket parts for everyone!

the Pursuit looks a lot better IMO, plus i have one...lol

The grill looks better, the stock rims on the GT look better and the tailights look better...those round things made me hate the Cobalt when i saw it...

Notice when you open up the hood on the SS/SC that you don't need a hood prop? That's because the struts are doing the work. Usually they're an aftermarket feature that SS/SCs got stock from the factory so Pontiac just wanted to point out that they have them, too.
