Used Pontiac G8s in New Jersey are unlikely to see newer counterparts in the form of rebadged 2010 models that would be marketed as Chevrolet<\/a> Caprices, according to General Motors CEO Fritz Henderson.<\/p>\n

While Bob Lutz, GM director of marketing[,] told Autoweek that the sedan would see service either in police cruiser trim or as a Caprice, Henderson put the kibosh on any such rumors.<\/p>\n

He said that the Australian-sourced G8 could be offered for law enforcement applications, but did not anticipate rebranding or re-badging the car, which GM is expected to cease importing this year, according to an AutoBlog report.<\/p>\n

While the G8 was only produced in 2008 and 2009, buyers could also consider older models, like a 2005 used Pontiac GTO in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Both models are “captive imports,” meaning they were both built by Australian automaker Holden and based off that company’s Commodore sedan.<\/p>\n

With aggressive hood scoops and a base engine making 350 horsepower, the power belies the ability for the coupe to comfortably fit four adults, note Cars.com editors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
