Unfortunately, those designs will never make production. As someone noted, those aren't even done by GM.

GM will put more of it's resources into the GTO before it comes back with the F-Body.

GM seems to be turning some divisions around quite nicely, actually. The new Solstice is supposed to be like $19,995 including destination. I was thinking of getting a Miata in a couple years, but taking incentives into consideration, a Pontiac Solstice would be an amazing value deal at around that price.
Wait a year, they have a SWEET 240hp turbo version coming out. The pics were posted yesterday. I would get the turbo version if it goes for 25k.

Also, isnt the Camaro supposed to be in production by 2008?

Default Chevy Camaro Concept Slated for '06 Detroit Show, '09 Debut

Date Posted 08-04-2005

DETROIT — Chevrolet plans to take the wraps off a concept Camaro at the 2006 Detroit auto show in January.

Also, Inside Line has learned the automaker is evaluating proposals to revive the classic performance-car nameplate in 2009-2010 on a new low-cost rear-wheel-drive platform.

Among the scenarios under discussion inside General Motors is the development of a lower-cost version of the Sigma rear-drive platform that underpins the Cadillac CTS and STS sedans. Another proposal would take the new rear-drive platform that's being developed in Australia for the next-generation Holden Commodore sedan and spin off a low-cost variant for North America.

GM planners are said to have targeted several body styles for the Chevy and Pontiac brands on a new rear-drive platform, including a sport sedan, a sporty coupe and a convertible. The Camaro and GTO badges could be used on those vehicles, according to company sources.

Across town, Chrysler is said to be preparing a concept Dodge Challenger for the '06 Detroit show, to test the market for a proposed two-door performance car it wants to introduce around 2008-2009 as a potential competitor to the Ford Mustang.

What this means to you: Guess it was just a matter of time and environmental awareness — the original definition of muscle cars doesn't fit well with new perceptions of what's best for the world...could there be a "green" muscle car in our future?

2009, LMAO. But I do hope it comes back with a vengence. Can't let the Mustang have all the fun.

IMO, green and muscle car aren't together for a reason... you just can't go making all that power and expect to get 40mpg and not pollute the atmosphere too. you're either green and don't make much power, or you make LOTS of power and not care so much about MPG estimates and pollution. it's like trying to have your cake and eat it too, not many people can do that. the ones who can, are fat.

Hmmmm a reinvention of the Camaro. If they do this, can they kill that thing they call the Impala currently and actually make one that has soul?
