From my web surfing, it looks like it'll be the GTO that gets the nod for Pontiac. What I still can't get my head around is everyone thinking the GTO will be back and on sale in 2008. The only way that could happen would be if it's very closely based on Holden's new Monaro. By that, I mean not only using all the underpinnings, but also using all the hard points for windscreen/doors/scuttle etc. BUT, the next Monaro hasn't even been approved yet. It's expected to arrive after the ute and wagon version of the new Commodore, itself only just launched.
However, the general concensus seems to be the current GTO wasn't enough of a "real" GTO in the looks department. I guess GM will take the same approach to the new GTO styling as they've done with the Camaro, ie overtly aggresive, with a modern twist on classic styline cues. I guess if they are working on a new GTO NOW, it may make it on sale by 2008. But then I'd hope they are already working on the Camaro now too, and that ain't coming until 2009.
Who knows? Either way, I can't wait to see the new Monaro, GTO and Camaro.....the sooner the better
