Hmm, interesting.
I think it'd be good to make more than 18,000 of them.
Plus, if they make more of them, maybe the price will come down a bit, and that'd be good too.

 

Not surprising...

If the plant has leftover capacity... why not build them?

30,000 is still a low number for a new model... Initial demand will most likely still outnumber total GTO production.

 

V8 Camaro production was less than 30,000

 

The V8 Camaro was also a aged design dating back to 1982 for it's underpinnings. The current body style was out since 1993, and it is identical to the car from 1998...

That's a lot of difference from the 2004 GTO, which is built on a relatively new arcitechture. The 2004 GTO is also a first year for the model.

Even if I do not think the GTO's styling is right, I can be pretty sure they will sell out even at 30,000 units.

 

There is no doubt in my mind that they will sell 30,000 GTOs. A HSV version would be just awesome.

 

So, I guess it is safe to assume that there will be enough GTO's per year to replace all the V8 Camaros and Firebirds not produced.

 

Kinda the same of what I heard, though I was under the impression it was a couple of years down the road.

Believe it or not, if that happens, GMNA may as well take over Monaro. Consider this, Monaro sells only about 5000 cars per year! If GM up's production of GTO to 30,000 annually, only 1/6 or only 17% of all V-coupe sales will be for the Australian or non US market.

Between the US & other markets, about 85% of all production of that one model will be exported!
