The Goat dies again...... Reply #31 – March 02, 2006, 05:41:45 PM Reports of the GTO's death are greatly exaggerated! According to GM Vice President Bob Lutz, the Pontiac GTO will return in 2008, alongside the 2008/2009 Chevrolet Camaro. Lutz told AutoWeek at the Geneva Motor Show today that the GTO will share the Zeta architecture with the new Chevrolet Camaro and Holden Monaro. Like the last ill-fated GTO, the 2009 GTO will be engineered jointly by GM in North America and Holden in Australia. Lutz said the new GTO project was only on hold for two months, but has since been revived. Lutz also said the rear-wheel-drive Zeta platform will be used for a new Chevrolet Impala, Monte Carlo, and an all new Buck model called the "Statesman." Lutz said a new El Camino could come by 'putting a Chevrolet face' on a Holden Ute, but that's unlikely at this time. The GTO and related programs, however, are back on "full tilt."Complete article at Autoweek. http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060302/FREE/60302001&SearchID=73237263668702 Quote Selected
The Goat dies again...... Reply #32 – March 02, 2006, 06:32:01 PM Sweet! I hope GM can pull themselves out of this slump they are in. Which really is not a slump when you consider the numbers. They still have the largest share of the North American market at 23.5% whereas Honda has 8.5%. So you hear all the doom and gloom about lost sales and such when they are still #1 in sales and production. Just not with as big a margin as they have had in the past. Ford is #2 with 18.9%. People can spin numbers any way they want though, I suppose. Quote Selected

That's the doom and gloom.The Domestics just have to stew in this shiznit image they spent 30 years working on. It'll take a good decade of above par products to really turn public perception around.
