"The next-generation GTO will share much of its engineering with a new GM family of rear-wheel-drive cars"
next family, huh.
I have a feeling the new Camaro will be the Chevrolet version of the next GTO.Tracy

Remember the photoshops of the next Grand National going around? I wouldn't be suprised to see that come off this platform too. GM needs something to really wake up their brands, especially Buick. I think you'll see a Camaro, GTO, Grand National, probably something from Cadillac, and maybe the Grand Prix will go RWD. They've already dropped a V8 into it, I think it's only a matter of time until they make it RWD and keep the G6 as their small FWD platform.Dave M

I agree with Steve. No way will a Firebird/TA come out as long as the GTO is there. A Camaro ... sure .. but not both.97 TA, M6, JBA ceramic coated headers, Borla Cat-back exhaust, 1.6 RR, 160 Thermo, LT4 knock sensor, CAI, Bils, Hotchkis all around, GT rotors, B&M shifter, Magnecor wires, Granatelli MAF

If they do come back I hope it is a 4 door an 4 cyl, Do you see this GM oh yes Blazer we are #1 in making super junk now days. GM should sell there engines to ford for the Mustangs an the bodys to Yogo. An make everybody happy. My 2 cents
