I'm actually pretty tired of the retro styling. For the price of a new muscle car you can buy a desent muscle car of the vintage you lust for and actually have what you wanted. Not some wannabe clone.

for instance
GTOs for sale

Thats why if I had the money to buy a new sports car I wouldnt buy a new one. I'd use that money to buy a used viper. If I'm gonna buy a sports car, I'm gonna buy one that not everyone else and their grandma has (mustang and to an extent corvette)

Word is Pontiac is going to dump all FWD platforms and go completely rear wheel drive, for everything. I think I read somewhere recently the Vibe is being dumped, the Torrent is being transferred to GMC, and the Grand Prix will be all rear wheel drive here shortly.

I thought the rumor was that the GP would be killed as well and the G8 would replace it. Isnt the new G8/GP platform the Theta platform or something like that. I dont know why but I remember reading that a while back. Maybe it was the Camaro/GTO that was going on the Theta or w/e.

I think you're right, I did see something about that new platform replacing the GP, but I guess in mind I still considered it would end up with the GP name, even though I've no clue if that will be the case.

Personally, I liked that 'Rageous' concept car they had a few years back. I'd buy one of those....

that does carry some wow factor, but it does look like a full sized hot wheels car. Looks more like a car you'd see in a parade than in someones driveway. And why 4 doors?
