It’s no secret General Motors is planning a new Pontiac GTO based on he forthcoming 2009 Chevrolet Camaro. But the GTO isn’t the only Zeta-platform-based car in the pipeline for Pontiac, according to the Chicago Tribune. Columnist Jim Mateja says Pontiac’s rear-wheel-drive sedan will use the “G8″ moniker and arrive as a “companion to the next-generation GTO.” Recently, there have been rumors that the 2007 VE Commodore (pictured) may be directly imported to America as a Pontiac, but the Tribune report seems to suggest the G8 may get different styling to match the new GTO. Also noteworthy is the nomenclature — will the vehicle continue the Grand Prix lineage, or use the G8 moniker in the footsteps of the alphanumeric G6?
