Toyota Supra is coming back out in 2008, mwahaha! My brother has a '97 supra 15th anniversary. Its twin turbo and packs about 440 horses. (It's red too! smile )

As for the challenger, it will be intresting to see the designs of the car. Poor Poor Pontaic, they are losing models while the other american co.s are gaining.

talk is a long way from actual production...but its a start...Chrysler has had a couple good looking concepts in the past few years (ME412 and the Firepower)...so they have the potential...but they gotta do better on production styling...IMO the Charger misses the boat...the name "Charger" has a performance past and this car doesnt fit that image...the same way the GTO has great hardware and lackluster styling...a new "pony car" needs some sexy lines...right now, Ford has that dept nailed with the new Mustang...everybody else is playing catch up.

GM is too busy trying to save it's self through truck sales. So expect delays on that new G8 and the redesigned GTO that is to be built here in the states. GM has pushed most of their development money into there new truck line to get the trucks to market a bit faster. So look for new Pontiacs in the 07-09 time frame. It's a sad time to be a GM fan. Or else expect a few more rebadged Holdens making their way over.

Didn't Dodge/Chrysler can the ME412 this year, with no chance of building it?

Yep ME412 is a no go. Like anyone of us would ever be able to purchase one.
