Yes, I have faith. And I'm not in a hurry, either, so you guys take your time and make it right.
Oh, and about that Torana... Nice stuff under the hood etc., but the styling does nothing for me...

GEEEEEEZ!

It'd make a great Pontiac or Saturn. Should we have faith about that too?

the Torana may be the basis for the "mystery car" that Pontiac has up it's sleeves for 07-08. You may see a new Pontiac concept based on the Torana introduced at the 05 Detroit and NYC auto shows.

To say it isn't a Camaro would be the same as saying the upcoming Buick Zeta sedan is not a Camaro....
In terms of design and market target the Torana has nothing to do with the upcoming Camaro. But if the Zeta coupe gets a new name and the Camaro is made on a different platform...the Torana's architecture could very well be the basis of a Camaro coupe..
