Very nice. So, if you bring it over is it called GTO or G8 Coupe?

A production version of the G8 coupe would definitely be on my list of potential next cars. Along with the 5th Gen and the G8 GT sedan

Available in three trim levels: GT8, GT8 GT, and GT8 GXP. Hmmm... No.

Dont call it a GTO, cause we dont need to hear it from baby boomers and other "purists" that its not a GTO.

If anyone looks at the specs, Id say that this car would be the Camaro's sister car. 190 inches, 75 wide, 54 tall, 114 wheel base....sounds like Camaro.
What are the chances this will be made in Oshawa as well? With the low cost of building cars in Canada vs Aussie and importing them, and since we have the Camaro sized platform going now, wouldnt it be easier to do it here if it was giong to be produced?

Firebird?

I'd buy that over a 5th gen without thinking twice.

Wow. I like it better than the Camaro too.

High compression small block and six speed please!

Edit: I wonder if that Hoffmeister kink will have the Bimmer lawyers going

What about this car being built IN Oshawa beside Camaro and being exported to Aus and Europe in small volume? That would be using the altered exchange rate in GM's favor and fill up some of the production capacity at the plant that the delayed Impala left open.

IMO that isn't a bad thing.
