Here is the new 2006 GTO



If you were looking for pics of the 2009 GTO you will have to wait a few more years.

 

Yep, the MT drawings by accounts were pretty accurate as far as looks, though those same accounts said the actual car looked far better.

In taking the guy's words into account, it would help to remember that the Camaro started over in design just about a year ago, and took about 6 months to finish, since the hardpoints were already set.

Another item to consider is that the guy was reassigned from the project well over a year ago if I remember.

Also, if it's the same person I'm thinking of (admittedly, I might have them mixed up), was the key source of the long timeline "next decade" rumors of the Camaro & GTO, and pretty is down on GM doing anything in less than 5 years, even though he works for the company.

 

Those comments are from rlsedition. He was program manager of the GP GXP and the former Zeta Pontiacs. He took early retirement last year. I'm sure you're thinking of someone else, because it's been my experience that Roger is dead nuts reliable.

 

He was very reliable, but he's retired. Obviously, he still will have some access to info, but his last hands on info was zeta's cancellation. He jumped off at that point. Since then, we know that the program was restarted at some point.

I still don't know what to think about all this. I'd like to think the GTO is back on, and Lutz's assurances are certainly helpful. At the same time there's a deafening silence when it comes to future products for Pontiac.

 

Lutz's comments were the only sign of life regarding the GTO, as far as I'm concerned. If we remember, he also had similar comments on the BelAir, Nomad, Velite and Torana however.
Frankly, I think he was getting out ahead of the pack with those GTO comments, trying to stir excitement.
And I do not fault him one bit for it.

But, at this moment...I see no signs of Pontiac getting any Zetas, anytime soon.

 

I say that to myself in over half the threads I read here....maybe it's why I'm not posting as much these days....

 

Oh come on Stefan. By "trainwreck" do you mean debate? This a discussion forum dude. We're not just mindlessly reading a manifesto.

 

Sarcasm….. Charlie…… Sarcasm……

I’m all for debates/discussions……I just see where a lot of them will go before they even get there….

However I stick around because the other 50% of threads intellectually supply me with a lot of great info…..

 

Yeah, I guess we do seem to have alot of re-runs.

 

I Ve Been Looking For Pics Of The 6th Gen Camero, Dus NE1 No Were Can I Find Sum. Or What The 6th Gen Camero Is Goin 2 Look Lik.

Nothing like the special brand of elitism that comes from having been on one part of the internet longer than another person.

 

 

This would be a pretty handy auto response to the way some of the guys on this board post on here.
