Kinda looks like a cross between a G8 and a Malibu.
Anyway, like our friend spectral, I would only want the engine and tranny.

I thought the G8s were just another boring front wheel drive car. My son had one in his body shop the other day and I questioned if it was worth repairing. He told me it's a Holden with a big motor and rear wheel drive, kind of a factory sleeper, and people who have them tend to hold on to them.

The last G8s over there should have the LS2 I believe

The commodore was until recently the most popular car in Australia. The latest one in top spec has the LSA supercharged with around 560hp or something. They are kinda fun to drive even though they are a 4 door.

Took the truck to show on the weekend (about 250 cars/trucks) and had a great time. Icing on the cake was award for Best Truck (Stock)! Have taken cars and trucks to shows for 25-30 years never won a thing never expected to so was a great surprise. Sorry no pictures from the show but here's one from a trip to a local winery.
