No, it ain't coming back. After GM stopped production of the camaro in 2002, they knew that they needed to create something to fill that void, the GTO filled that void. When GM stopped production on the GTO, they started working on something to fill that void again, eventually the G8 came out. Then the whole economic downturn happened and they released the 5th gen. camaro, so when they decided to stop producing pontiacs, they saw that the G8 would only rob the new camaro's sales. It would be in direct competition. So they came up with a solution, which was to kill the G8.
Now that the GTO has been out of production for a few years and the G8s have been bought out by customers, the camaro gets it's place back. So, they won't create a new gen GTO or put the G8 back into production (well unless they replace the impala with it, but that's not gonna happen). It makes no sense to release a direct competitor from within, it would be stupid of them if they were to do that. Camaro vs. GTO or Camaro vs. G8
Also, pontiac is dead. And it's not coming back for a number of years. Reasoning is that they didn't sell the brand because they may want to bring it back when the economy improves. So there won't be any GTOs or G8s on the road anytime soon. But maybe in 20 years, who knows.
