We lost some pretty cool car models when GM closed Pontiac back in 2009. The Holden Commodore-based G8 sedan was possibly the coolest, what with its rear-drive platform and available V8 power. While we did get a follow-up with the Chevrolet SS, which continued with the Commodore base, at least until Holden was shut down, too, it seems Pontiac had bigger ideas for the big sedan. GM Design once again has shone a light on a never-before-seen concept car from the automaker's archives. It's a Pontiac G8 concept from nearly the final days of the brand.

The tale of Pontiac is a tragic one. The sporty and performance-oriented brand was killed off as a result of GM's financial woes, along with Hummer and Saturn. But what would have come of the company if it had survived? GM Design has showcased Pontiac's last-ever concept car, the G8, via its Instagram account. Handsome, striking, and sophisticated, this could have been the successor to the Pontiac G8, a rebadged Holden Commodore that was sold between 2008 and 2009.

General Motors was caught flat-footed when Ford introduced the Mustang for the 1964 ½ model year. Sure, the General had built its share of muscle cars in the past — generally they were versions of otherwise plebeian two-doors that a grandmother might drive to church, but with honkin' big V8s under the hood to give them the street cred necessary to appeal to the Baby Boomers coming of age at the time. However, the Mustang was purpose-built, smaller and lighter weight compared to traditional muscle cars, with the visual appeal to attract new buyers who might have otherwise considered a model from an import brand.
