Yes, I too heard this, but only about the Camaro. Due to return in 07, I think?

The Camaro returning has been rumored since before they shut down the assembly lines on the old one.

Ok answers answers answers...
1.As long as Lutz in in GM there will be no Firebird - He stated that more than once and quite aggressivly.
2.There will be a 2nd RWD V8 Pontiac to go along with the Chevelle/Camaro duo. The Chevelle and GTO in 07 will both be availible with the converty option. May be a mid year release like usual but they will be here.
3.The platform will be revised in 07. The GTO will look different then..maybe not much, but different. So it may get the more aggressive of look between it and the - Tempest? or whatever they are gonna call the 2nd vehicle.
4. you say "hey that does not fit in to the scheme of things as they are now?!?!?!".. rumors are still the GP will retain its name but in 07 it maybe replaced by the GTO conterpart. Good news it it will either be RWD or AWD with front mount V8.

G8- Large RWD Sedan based of Zeta Platform with debut around 2007/08. Will be powered by both a 3.9L V6, and 5.3/6.0L V8's. Replacement for the Bonneville, and possibly the Grand Prix Grand Prix- The Grand Prix will receive a GXP version in late MY 2005 as a 2006 . It will be powered by a 280-300 HP 5.3L LS4 powertrain. unfortunately, the 4 speed automatic transmission will remain until 2007 (at the earliest) when it is replaced by a 6 speed automatic. Also, the current 3800 engine series will be discontinued in 2006/07, replaced by the 240 hp 3.9L V6. In 2008, the Grand Prix will either be replaced by the G8 sedan, or carry on along side it. I think I posted that before. But anyways bye bye 3800 to a great engine.

No way Pontiac can discontinue the grand prix, that's the longest running nameplate in pontiac. Came before the 'bird, and stayed after it was discontinued. That would really blow if they did away with the grand prix, glad i've got two just in case. And is that 240 horse 3.9 NA or blown?

Im sure 100% of the people in america thought that about Firebird/Trans Am too. No way pontiac would kill and not revive its pony/muscle car.
