Dodge did the smart thing of making a 4 door charger. The market for 2 door cars is very small right now; they needed to make it 4 door. Their 2 door car is the challenger!!! Dodge was able to resurrect the Charger nameplate, but still make a pretty popular car.

I do not see GM bringing another 2 door car because they would just increase inter-brand competition.

the last gto was just too ordinary looking...it looked like a regular pontiac which is why it didn't sell well..

something like a gto needs to stand out

2 door version of the Malibu or the Impala? I always thought the Malibu was a decendant of the Chevelle

they had a lot of stuff planned with the zeta platform until they started to get into trouble

bell air and a few good looking buicks as well...i think one was the buick velletee

and i hate it when people say that the foreign cars are better designers...thats not true...its just that gm is held back by things like legacy costs and government regulations
