That car looks like ***. The front end is trying too hard.

To think Motor Trend might READ A PRESS ARTICLE and figure out there will be no retro 2007 GTO?

That doesn’t do it for me. I’ve never been a real big fan of Motor Trends concepts.

Don't you just love it when an auto magazine draws up some picture and says "here's the NEW [insert car name here]

They have no idea what the next generation is supposed to really look like so they come up with their own thing and put it in to sell magazines.

The more I look at the front fascia...the more potential I see in it.

I think the current Impala SS, Monte Carlo, and Grand Prix could use an AWD upgrade. Versatrek is about a $2800 option on Aztek and the mini vans.

AWD 260HP S/C V6 Monte Carlo would be awesome

I just don't get AWD on a modern day muscle car. Sure I could get wicked 60ft times at the exspense of replacing my clutch.

Wheres the laying a little patch just for fun, pulling away from a light? Wheres the second gear rubber? Wheres the cheap price tag? How come its so heavy? If it can't do any of those its not a muscle car.

on a more positive note those rims on the HSV Coupe 4 are really nice. i'd like to see those on a GTO.

Why are people so obsessed with that stretched japanese headlight look. I'd like a GTO, not a 350Z. Muscle cars shouldn't be "squinty-eyed"
