I'd be surprised if GM's still around by then.. they owe something in the area of 280 billion dollars.

Edit: just read the rest of the article.. wow, that's ing new. Base it on a chassis used on the CTS/STS or rebadge another Holden.. that is ing brilliant. This is going to be another "GTO" for sure.

JD Power does not do long term surveys. Their best known report is Intial Quality which reports customer satifaction after 90 days. Their Long-Term Dependability report is for vehicles between only their 2nd and 3rd year.

reminds me of most of the new Veedubs,passat ,etc.The cobalt SS is a nice car and finally has a quality interior.The ecotech is also a good motor.On top of which whats wrong with the 05 GTO? aussies know how to build cars.

if you are refering to the G6 that also has a quality interior much like the cobalt.If your friend is breaking everything he touches in the car he may want to consider not holding a hammer while he uses functions in the interior.I have driven lots of mid 90s pontiacs and they all have the same things in common warping top layer of dash or shitty molding job on the panels.At least with GMs econo line you get what you pay for.

These pictures are CGI renderings of what a Camaro could look like if GM brought it back. Heck, they're not even drawn by GM's design department; it's done by a 19-year-old art student named Kris Horton. The orange car is Kris' original design; the green is the newer, more updated one.

So what does GM think about all this? So far, our contacts at Chevy are tighter than a clam, but you can rest assured Kris Horton's original design has been seen by the brass. [...] We can only hope GM will awake from its performance coma and see the light which Kris Horton has so charitably shone on Chevy's performance icon.
There's always a chance this car will see daylight, but it's very slim. It if ever does, I just might have to buy my first Chevy.

The CGI renderings that have been floating around the internet since 2003 are very "cool" indeed (and hats off to the 19-year old who made them), but there's a story behind them not everyone knows about. All I did was shed some light on the issue.

There was no disrespect intended.

Edit: And, for the record, I was awestruck the first time I saw these pictures. This design stays true to the Camaro's history while using very modern lines as well as GM's signature design cues. If Kris Horton hasn't already been hired on GM's design team, he damn well should be.
