I think I'd honestly put the pony car out first.
Can you imagine if one company was able to launch the 300 and Mustang at the same time? A bold G8 and a hot Camaro.
I guess a boy can wish.

That ought to **** off as many or more people as the Charger.
Re: The new camaro... again
That was my initial thinking, but we're getting a restyled Impy and MC in 2006. As much as I'd love to see a RWD Impy SS return, I can't see GM ditching the 2006 in two or three years and I don't really want a four door MC. Malibu doesn't have the name... but...
Impala sure carries a lot of weight with baby boomers and hip hop culture, and it certainly could have the gangerster/mobster appeal that the 300 has to both of those groups.

Re: The new camaro... again
I'm finally really exited now. I have been hopefully guarded about the prospects of a new Camaro but hearing him say Camaro in reference to the future is a breath of fresh air. At the same time I am sad that I didn't make it to the gathering this year.

Also, a rhetorical question (as are all comments I make on this topic
), if you are GM, and are developing a new RWD platform that will have both a coupe and sedan......which one would you push out first??

flip that the other way around, what do you get? a nothing special rwd sedan platform that the next year you have to say you put a sports car on a sedans platform.
which sounds better?
all new sporty RWD chassis for a camaro that u can say a sedan is on the same platform with a sports car
or a new rwd chassis for a sedan that you have to tell people a sports car is on a sedan's chassis.
no matter how good it is i think the second one will be harder to sell to people
