Pontiac seems almost certain to get a G8 version of the forthcoming Holden VE Commodore Sportwagon, a pre-production concept of which was unveiled this week at the 2007 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney.

The new Commodore wagon, said to roll on the same wheelbase as the sedan, is a much sportier-looking vehicle than the car it replaces. GM sources hint a G8 version would be positioned as a "sport wagon," along the lines of BMW's 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Powertrains will be identical to the G8 sedan. That means an entry-level version with the 261-horse, 3.6-liter V-6 and a five-speed auto, and a GT model with a 361-horse, 6.0-liter V-8 with a six-speed automatic. A six-speed manual also will reportedly be available.
