The US was going to get a Pontiac G8 ST, based on the Commodore Utility. It was announced as a 2010 model, but then GM killed Pontiac and we never got it. I believe Australians got both sedan and utility versions of the Commodore with the G8 bodywork just to use up the body panels already produced.

Someone in Detroit has a green Chevy SS like that G8 but I haven’t seen it in person yet.

Yes, that was an option you could tick when you ordered your car.
There’s also wagons running around with that front end.

A nice GT40 replica drove by me on Centenary Rs/Argyle St, jjust then. Dark red with silver stripes. Looked like it's been driven to Le Mans and back! Plates read "GT40 V8". I just wasn't quick enough with my phone.

Hopefully, he's parked somewhere close.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Haven’t seen a camo prototype in a while
Think it’s a 2020 Silverado

This was on the west side of the state, usually I see them in Detroit.

 

[Lameonade]

Saw these two following each other near Ypsilanti

Toyota Hi-Ace seen in downtown Seattle. And yes, it is RHD.

Well of course it’s RHD because those weren’t sold in the US.

 

[Pete05]

Saw this today & it’s obviously seen a racetrack or two.

Love the retro wheels

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Lavante, first local one I’ve seen.

It's been a while since I've done this but...

A Tesla Model 3 that I saw while riding along with my parents.


I went up to northern VA for a job interview, after that; I passed by the back of some classic car garage. Here's a few things I've seen there.

Triumph TR6


A MGB behind another Triumph and I think the covered car is a Triumph Spitfire.


Another MGB Roadster behind a Sunbeam Tiger.


Well, my first time seeing a Lotus Elan. Lets see what else, another Triumph Spitfire, a Jaguar E-Type (maroon car), and some other classic I can't identify.


I went to a Ferrari dealership and this Porsche 997.2 Carrera GTS was in the customer parking.

Pretty sure the car between the E-type and the Elan is a Morris Minor.

I never heard of the Dinaplin. Turns out to be Mexican, built under license. 700-1000 built between 1965-1974. There's a cabriolet and a GT4 2+2 as well. Very nice.

 

[Outspacer]

Just a BMW M4,

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Jeep SRT8

Seen this one a few times.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

My own recent spots.

I went for a job interview at a company next to this import garage. I saw this early 90s Audi Convertible and a 1980s Mercedes-Benz SL.

A Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG with a 1990s E-Class Wagon next to it.


An old Dodge Pickup I saw while sitting in the backseat of my parent's car.


A BMW 1M Coupe at an intersection.


In front of the F-Series, there's a while Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.


EDIT: I forgot to include this. Mainly something I thought was interesting; this is a house in my town I pass by sometimes. It has a couple of 1980s Saabs.
