G8 to get Solstice-like styling?

There's no question Pontiac will unveil a new sedan at the Chicago Auto Show based on the new Holden Commodore. GM's product boss Bob Lutz has even confirmed it will be named G8. However, there have been conflicting reports over the car's styling.

According to a new report by trade publication Automotive News, the G8 will get front end styling similar to the popular Solstice roadster. The car will have unique styling from the A-pillar forward, the report said.

The report indicates the difference between the Commodore and G8 will be more dramatic than suggested by a popular illustration on the cover of Motor Trend's October issue.

Today's report also goes against a Detroit Free Press story that claimed the G8 would first get a Pontiac grille only, and later get unique styling when production is moved to Canada.
