You gots to be kidding me?

With the success of the new Mustang you’d think they’d bring back the GTO?

“With the success of the new Mustang you’d think they’d bring back the GTO?”

The G8 GXP powered by a 402hp LS3 will replace the GTO. What Pontiac really needs to do is bring back the Trans-Am powered by a 500hp LS7.

I remember them. Pretty cool. Along with the '60s muscle cars.

Identical to my Dad's Chrysler 300 with 440 TNT under triple deuces. Aah yes, and the Torqueflight tranny.

They did and it bombed.

Of course, it looked like every other “cookie cutter rice burner” on the road. LOL

Trans Am would be anotehr good one. The trick is keeping to the traditional body style while tweeking it to update the look like Ford did to the Mustang.

“Stupid is as stupid does!”

Exactly. Sometimes when I look at the decisions made by the US auto industry I feel like I’m watching Spinal Tap or Best in Show.

And that's the stupidity of GM. You'd think they learned Ford's lesson.

Looks like they are just trying to collect data for spam. "The information you share with us may be used by GM, our affiliates, our licensees, and dealers. It may be used by our suppliers exclusively to provide services for GM, and by our business partners to conduct joint marketing programs with GM."

A business partner, of course, could be anyone to whom they sell the data. "By business partners, we mean independent companies that conduct joint marketing programs with GM. An example is HSBC USA...."

Sweeeeeeet....!!!

I always loved the grill work on the late 60s early 70s Chevys.

They got this look, it’s like “I’m hungry. Think I’ll have me a Toyota fer lunch...!”
