On Selection Sunday (March 16th) "Spy Hunter" will run nationally, and pop culture enthusiasts everywhere are sure to rejoice, as the :30 is largely inspired by the massively popular action/driving game of the same name from the early 80s. (The object of the game was to drive an armed sportscar and destroy enemy vehicles while protecting civilian vehicles.) In the Pontiac spot, the mission is the same, with the G8 starring as the hero car. The :30 enjoys several of the same top-down vantage points as the original game -- and gives people a look at what this "world" would look like in 3D from other angles. Perhaps most enjoyably for enthusiasts, the "Spy Hunter" music (an arrangement of the Peter Gunn theme) plays a major role in the spot as well.

Mar 31, 2008 - The G8 is probably about 80% the same as the Commodore but, the High End Model has the Same Engine as its Commodore Counter Part and is actually a lighter Car due to the Relaxed Front Bumber Restrictions in the US as compared to Australia, so if anything a slightly lighter car with the same engine and with the option for a LS1 Engine down the line will surely put the Commodore to shame...lol, you should see what we get, all hail the clubby Commodore! chuck that into youtube australia

May 17, 2008 - The only thing is that this does not show that GM hired someone at Pontiac who knew wtf they were doing... this vehicle shows that our Holdens' are so awesome that GM is using them to revive a nearly dead brand. GO AUSTRALIA!
