Motor, a leading performance-enthusiast magazine in Australia is predicting an LS9 powered Holden Special Vehicles GTS-R to make a jaw-dropping appearance at this month’s Melbourne Motor Show.  The GTS-R will be based on HSV’s GTS which is a Holden-based Commodore SS sedan with all the performance bells and whistles.  Holden, operating under the blanket of Bob Lutz and his GM crew, were recently responsible for brining the rebadged Commodore SS stateside as the Pontiac G8.  Could this LS9 powered version of HSV’s Commodore also find its way stateside as a Pontiac super-performance sedan?  We sure hope so.   Stay tuned to RPM Planets for the latest news and information.

General Motors reveals plans based on the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro's Zeta platform. This rear-wheel-drive, hybrid, sport utility truck could be the next Denali XT. The concept Denali is set to make its arrival at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show and is reported to feature an all new 4.9 liter flex-fuel V8, cylinder deactivation and a dual mode hybrid system designed for full electric drive during slow speeds.

The much anticipated new Cadillac CTS-V has been spotted at the Thunderhill Raceway in California.  It is set to be yet another amazing car from General Motors, who seems to be on a recent power kick, providing amazing performance for modest prices with cars such as the Corvette Z06, the Trailblazer SS, and the upcoming Camaro.   

In 2009, GM will throw down the first 500+ horsepower sedan to come out of The Big Three, the Cadillac CTS-V.  With an estimated 515 to 525 hp from a new supercharged V8, this luxo-rocket should provide some American competition to a decidedly German collection including the BMW M5, Audi RS6 and Mercedes E63 AMG.

Any child of the 80's, car nut, or just all around action enjoying person has surely seen Transformers by now.  The 2009 Chevy Camaro makes an appearance that is worth the price of admission just to hear it growl.  General Motors had a strong part in the creation of this movie, with most of the main character cars being GM products.  One such product was the huge GMC Topkick 6500 truck.  While it may seem a fantasy, buyers can now go to the dealership and pick up an Ironhide of their own.  

Every child of the 80's at this moment is ripping off their couch cushions, scrounging up all the change they can find, trying to raise enough money to purchase their dream car.  Knight Industries Two Thousand, or K.I.T.T, the star of the hit TV show Knight Rider, is up for sale for the low price of $149,995. 

It has been quite some time since Pontiac produced a car that created such excitement as the G8. The return of the GTO seemed as if it was going to bring Pontiac and GM back up to the top, but the somewhat lackluster looks reminded too many people of a Grand Am with a huge engine stuffed between the fenderwells. However, with its line of "G" cars, GM has slowly started picking up the pace with its Pontiac cars. The new G8 sports sedan, based on the Holden Commodore, is set to debut in showrooms this fall, and believe us, this car is going to sell like hotcakes.
