2005 Pontiac GTO (a Holden Monaro in Disguise)

Pontiac GTO repainted "Cyclone Grey" at Almost Everything Auto Body

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2005 Pontiac GTO (enthusiasts will also recognize it as a Holden Monaro designed & built by GM of Australia.) It is a rare beast in the USA (emphasis on beast.) We love the understated design and the gigantic engine lurking beneath. This one arrived at the body shop with some dents and painted black. It left with a clean skin painted "Cyclone Grey."

Pontiac G8 Bad News/Good News/Bad News

Bad News: The Pontiac G8 bit the dust with GM's bankruptcy along with the rest of Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Saturn, Hummer & Saab. It was the best looking 4-door from GM in decades and it could compete with BMW.

Good News: The G8 is actually from GM's Australian Holden Division and is being reintroduced to the USA as we speak as a Chevrolet Caprice!

Bad News:  The new Caprice is ONLY available for fleet purchase as the Caprice PPV (Police Pursuit Vehicle.) So if you really want one, be ready to fight cabbies over it in a few years and we hope you like black and white.
