Charles Gibson is in Detroit this week doing World News Tonight from Motown. Avid Autoblog reader Arthur just tipped us off to this sneak peak of the show in which Rick Wagoner escorts Gibson into the Pontiac design studio and lifts the cover off the front end of the Pontiac G8 that will debut early next month at the Chicago Auto Show. Our inside sources tell us the G8 is officially listed as a concept, but we're obviously pretty certain that Pontiac's going to get a rear-wheel drive sedan based on Holden's Zeta platform and that what you see here isn't far from production at all.

not a fan of that style of wheel, but i'll reserve final judgement when they unveil the whole thing.

Ditto. I can't help but be excited though that it should be a good vehicle. I hate seeing a car company struggle to bring good products to the market.

I like it. Looks very similar to both the 05-06 Altima SE-R and 07 Acura Type S rims.

haha. that's exactly what they remind me of. the altima se-r rims have at least "go in" at the lug nuts. these just look too flat, especially for a rwd car. but the abc bug is covering up that spot, so who knows.

i'm liking it. it sure looks like GM is going to be able to pull out of this one....i just wish i could feel more confident about ford. after seeing that "new" focus...i dunno....
