Could be EARLIER.Could be what you said, could be something new. With a "new" model the possibilites are endless.
Can't wait for a few months from now.

GM is not kidding around. The end of the decade is going to be sick for the company, and not a bad sick, but a 21st century "21 year old" (like myself) "sick" for the company.
Lutz knows how to design 'em.

I had posted awhile back in a thread about the GTO that the next gen GTO would be displayed along with a Sunfire replacement at NAIAS as per my buddy at GM Tech. We'll see if either shows up or something totally different.

Then again GM did flat out tell us there would be a 2008 GTO, didn't they?

If Pontiac pulls a GTO concept out of it's butt for NAIAS, I'll be shocked...pleasantly shocked, that is.
The '07 GT500 production car will be there.
And, although Chrysler hasn't officially confirmed or denied anything...almost everyone is expecting a Challenger concept.
Most importantly, throw in our car, and it sounds like a great show.

The whole board flood GM with letters again? Write all the mags? Something to make the hype for this car huge. (I'm sure it will have the hype on it's own, but There's nothing wrong with too much hype.)

A challenger with a "hemi" (wooo, everyone loves a "hemi") might get a good size crowd too, though. I was just saying that it needs to be a clear cut most talked about car at the show. I know it will be a big draw on its own though.
