i'm pretty sure 06 was the last year for it

someone told me that GM is going to be doing that with many of their new cars... 2-3 yr runs, then redesign or axe it

something about people liking fresh material

06 was the last year until they get the plant up and running stateside.

Import fees were cutting too deep into the very small profit.

It was supposed to be a two year hiatus but will GM run both the Camaro and GTO? They are slated for the same platform.

The camaro is a done deal. It will take some serious financial issues to kill it now. Way too much money has been put into it to kill it now.

Sorry, should have worded that in past tense. If that is the choice they made, someone will die. Ugly and not as good a car... kooky

IMO

we've yet to see what Pontiac version of the Camaro will look like...but Mr Lutz has made it clear there will be no Firebird...the new GTO will be the Camaro sistership...the GTO based on the Holden Manaro from Down Under is out of production.

If I didn't have kids that would be my next vehicle purchase.

Im hoping this is bigger on the inside then the GP. If not it's time to look at a cross over.

The GTO has a 4 speed auto, just like we do. That's the one thing I don't like about it.

I beg to differ.

The GTO was only had two options. The Six speed manual or the six speed manual. And the auto had the paddle shift.

Yea, you were right about the manual. I wasn't trying to disagree there. Just pointing out about the auto tranny.
