Didn't the GTO debut in the spring of 2004 as a 2004?
Why couldn't they have it debut in early 2007 as a 2007, even if it is a short run?

If there isn't a concept or some strongly backed talk by Scott by January of 06, I might just go ahead an buy a new GTO.

I am sooo tired of this cloakl and dagger crap.......192,000 mustangs have sold. GM gave all the sales right to Ford~ How do you not make a Camaro to cut into that market share ? I am losing faith by the bucketfull. Super Dumbasses~

That's what I'd do. See the fella above.

18-24 months! What if the car was already approved, but somehow All the insiders couldn't find evidence of it (or knew the consequences of a leak)? It's possible, IMO especially considering the climate of "mums the word", as far as Camaro goes! And isn't it also possible that work began on a 5th gen shortly after it was canceled, even if no one could find any proof! I still say there will be an 07 Camaro, and I hope I'm right!

Because some of the "insiders" actually work either for GM directly, or for a parts or assembly supplier who would be involved in the car. To top it off, GM has said it isn't approved.

FWIW, there were some "parts" that were already well along before money & resources were frozen and diverted to the GMT900.

Actually, the 2004 GTO began production in early fall 2003, and hit showrooms before Christmas. That makes it a 2004.

It's all based on when the car begins production. The original Mustang went on sale in April 1964. However it's actually a 1965 Mustang not a '64 1/2. The "1/2" came from the press, not Ford, which called it the 1965 Mustang.

Not a new phenomenon.
