Ford had best do something real smooth with the mustang cus that GTO and the Camaro coming soon are might just east the good ol' boy alive. id like to see something retro like what they did with the T-bird, mby lighten up the car and include and up-to-date IRS instead of a live axle, i know thier cheap and fun but yah gota get with the program. a mustang with IRS and a big ol' torque monster V8 would dominate SCCA events just like it did back in the day. That along with retro Iococca styling would make it sell like hot cakes(what ever those are).

Whatever ends up being the GTO, it hopefully will be better then what they got now.
There was rumors at one point of pumping up the horsepower on the Pontiac Solstice and launching it as a Corvette StingRay [:'(]. Not sure how much longer GM can go with badge engineering this way. They need to find the soul of their vehicles again, not just the badge....

Guys that isnt a G8 concept or w.e you guys are saying. The G8 is a "copy" of the Australian Holden Commodore...just like the 04-06 GTO was a "copy" of the Holden Morano. GM isnt doing anything new, they are just playing emblem tag with all there subsidiearies.

The new Monaro for Australia is supposed to be built in the US at the same plant as the Camaro.
Sooner or later Pontiac will ether get a modified Camaro (Retro 1967-1969 Firebird Style) or Monaro.
As stated the G8is just a US built rebadged Holden Commodore (Australia) / Chevrolet Lumina (Middle East).
