Anyone seen this thing yet? Looks like it will be a pretty sweet car. I'm glad to finally see GM getting back to some rear wheel drive big cars.

standard 3.6L V6 w/256hp
GT model 6.0L V8 2/361hp

Here's a couple links:

I'm not a fan of that front end

if I was going to have a domestic rear wheel drive...it would be a charger.

Why in the world is Pontiac wasting their time with that?

Where's the 2009 or 2010 Firebird Trans Am concept?

You'd think they had enough bullshit with the GrandAmTO laugh.gif and now this? It looks like the exact same damned car yet with even more typical Pontiac brash plastic crap glued to it.

You'd think with how bad Pontiac (and GM's) sales have been slumping over the course of the last 10 years this wouldn't be a mystery to them to stop building cars that look like Grand Ams with body kits for $40,000.

I bet they sell all of 5,000 of these things this year.

Quoted so we can come back to this later.

I'm just happy that they have a new rear wheel drive platform to build cars on. I seriously doubt this will be the last one.

Finally? It's only been 2 years since Pontiac last sold the GTO. In the UK, that car is basically the Vauxhall VXR8. Back when the GTO was still being sold in the US, it was the Vauxhall Monaro VXR.

When I said "finally" I said I was glad to see them get back to some rear wheel drive big cars. I do recall the GTO and that it is rear wheel drive, just don't consider it big wink.gif
