No Bob, forget the aesthetics of the photos.
Both photos are appalling dross.

It's just your feelings about the front of the car.

I got both photos of car sales websites.

Good grief if I shot images like that I'd hang up both my Nikon and Fujifilm
and use a cell phone.

I'd hate anybody to think that the two images above are my work... Yuk!

Photo composition: A
Look of front of car: A

A looks like an ordinary car to me. B looks like it's more of a "hot car", souped up (vents on hood). Being a pragmatist, I prefer things that do what I need them to do, i.e. for a car, it has to get me from A to B reliably. Style does not attract me. Style is a way for someone else to extract money from you. It is my impression that a high performance car is a high maintenance car.

The above is my opinion. YMMV. If you are more attracted to B, it's purely your choice. I have no say in the matter, but like everyone else I spout my opinions freely.

It's not about the photo, just the front of the car.

I downloaded the photos off the net... I should have made that clear in my OP
sorry for the confusion folks.

Even though they are the same car from different continents, A. An Aussie Holden and B. An American Pontiac, I prefer A.


Actually they are both made in Australia.

However you are partly correct.

A is for the Australian, South African, NZ and possibly other RHD markets.

And B is exported to the US.

Front end and spoiler on A. Wheels on B.
B must be used. I thought Pontiac was out of production.

They are both 2009 cars Made in Australia.

B is what we exported to the US market and named Pontiac.
A is the domestic version for the Australian market and is a Commodore.

They are the same car apart from a few cosmetic differences
plus different spring and damper rates. We've got some horrendous
roads down here so the spring and damper rates are higher for the Commodore.
And of course the "Pontiac" is left hand drive and the Commodore is RHD


The Reason I've asked, is because I was wondering how well
the boffins at Holden did their market research.

From responses so far it's close to 50/50 hardly worth tooling up
for the different front bumper.

Thanks for the information. It caused me to do some research on Wikipedia on the demise of the Pontiac.
I always wondered why there were so many divisions at GM. They probably should have merged the now defunct divisions. Chevy & Pontiac. Or even Chevy, Pontiac, & Oldsmobile, or Olds & Buick.
Seems like the top model in each division was equivalent to the next division.

:-) I s'pose a 12mm sniper rifle is one way to shoot (through) a Lambo.

I know you know how I shot a Lambo... if you remember back to
October 2016?

A has a much cleaner look

B is too busy and distracting to the eye

They’re equally unattractive but, then again, I drive 2 Jaguars (but, as I tell myself, I’m not a car snob).

I prefer "A" that's a much smarter car.

These examples do have different power plants, ignore that,
as far as I know they are available with the same engine
drivetrain options.


Give me the Holden anyday.
