Hopefully GM will sell these two as a Chevelle and ElCamino.



The Stig driving them.

Hej Janne
The 4 Door have been sold for about a year as a Pontiac G8 in the US, and they where supposed to sell the pickup version also.
Now with Pontiac going away who knows what GM will do with this platform here. Hopefully they do what you said Chevelle and El Camino be the perfect choice I think.

this is where i shot two emails to. hopefully the right spot...i just googled top gear stumbled upon their BBC site scrolled all the way down to the contact us link (very bottom) and voila. do the same and read some of the other options in case i missed something in terms of a better means of contacting them...god this could be so sweet guys
Sorry man but since the site you're referring to is the BBC site for the States and we're shooting for Top Gear in the UK, I guess this will be more appropriate: [email protected] found that @ http://www.topgear.com/uk/contact-us

Yes I know, but I was thinking of the Bathurst version which is a killer car, I guess it will be the same engine in the upcoming 2010 Z28.

I may have a good connect. Top Gear was here in the states to film with my friend/boss Ken Block. Im sure he has a good contact.

If some of you guys want me to "really" see if they are interested in running some of our car (i would be down to ship them mine as well)... i can check to see if they have any interest.

Maybe there is a connect there...maybe not. But i can check.

i know this is a crazy idea, but go out and drive your cars, and see for yourself how they perform against exotics...

Go to a track day and see for yourself how your car stacks up.
