Holden has begun building Pontiacs

The introduction of the Pontiac G8 represents a significant milestone for GMH, as it brings the mix of vehicles produced at Elizabeth to a 50-50 split of export and domestic production. It also ensures the Elizabeth production line will now be running at its full production capacity of 620 cars a day. The Pontiac G8 goes on sale in the US soon and is the biggest of three new export programs announced in 2007 by GM Holden, the others being to Korea and the Middle East. The G8 is a restyled and rebadged version of the latest VE Holden Commodore.
