Agree. If GM made it look anything like that it would be just as big of a fail as the 04 GTO. I would hope GM learned its lesson from that car in that you can't put a iconic name on a car and have the looks not own up to it. The 04-06 GTO would have done a lot better with a new name. I do think GM will build another GN and GNX because they filed patents for the name recently. I just hope they make it look more muscle than Cadillac/BMW like the picture.
A few things I would like to see from a new GN and GNX is
-LF3 for the GN
-LF4 for the GNX
-black only
-2 door only
-ATS platform
-a exterior look that honors the name.
This would be a car I would buy.
The only deviation that I would accept from the original would be if they offered a 7 speed manual. They could then make a Regal or whatever on the same platform and offer it with all colors, 2 or 4 door, and all engine/trans choices that share the alpha platform. LF3 cars in other colors could be called turbo T or T type.
