I don't care what they say between themselves.. if they want to find out more about the Camaro, tell them to just come to this forum and read. all they need to know is here..
This would never work. It's too logical.

On thing people forget is the Camaro is a Zeta Coupe, so it actually an evolution of the GTO and shares DNA. It is better because it is a newer version, just like a PS2 is better than a PS3. If they had continued making the the GTO, it would have been very similar to Camaro.

I personally own both..and they each have their advantages. For instance, the Camaro is a rock star..and when you drive one..everyone else on the road notices and starts acting like idiots the second they see you. On the flip side, you can drive a GTO unnoticed, and then outta nowhere hand someone their ass. It is probaly the sleeper of the decade. In terms of performance and braking, the Camaro wins...which it should. In terms of livability, however I like the GTO. It has a nicer interior (better materials), more comfortable interior, and a much larger back seat. The Camaro is more like driving a butt on the floor Corvette and has several ergonomic/packaging compromises to fit the styling. While the Camaro has a larger trunk, it's usability is hindered by the opening. While the Camaro dies have a nicer radio and bluetooth, the GTO has a stereo that is much easier to replace so you can add these features.

Either way..I think because of the styling alone, the GTO and Camaro would definatly appeal to different groups.
PS2 is better than a PS3??? better turn that statement around....

People shouldnt care what people think of there cars. As long as you like it thats all that matters. & there will always be someone faster.

They call my G8 a: G6 - grocery getter, soccer mom car (on this site) but its all good I love my car...

The G8 will always have parts for it its a GM engine that uses the same parts as other popular engines. L76 manifold L92 heads 6l80e trans ....

I like the G8, GTO & the new Camaro I just chose the 4dr cause it is practical for me and my family....

I am trying to talk the old lady in to buying a new SS CAMARO, SRT8 CHally or G37/370Z...
that camaro driver did bad lol

the g8 was the first Pontiac car that i Liked, everything about it appealed to me, to bad it sold like crap due to horrible advertising:(

All the G8's are gone.. sold.. I think that the G8 project was doomed after building them. They are still alive in Australia though they just stopped sending them to the US....

As for them not selling, well they presented the G8 to the public at the worse time ever, when the economy crashed... :(

I would have changed the name - I dont want my G8 confused with the G6 at all ..

I have a feeling they will be back under another name.
