did you see this?

dunno about the specs, but it wouldn't be an altogether bad thing for GM to have a lower priced 4door RWD car.

As with the Monaro/GTO, I expect that any US version would offer at least the 400 hp LS2 engine.

and by the time Pontiac gets it for sale, it will probably be a 6.2litre with displacement on demand.

hey, i'm thrilled with my V, so if i could get the next gen chassis without the cadillac bells and whistles, i'd be pleased.

Pontiac should be ok with this vehicle. they should have a great 3 car lineup right?. Solstice/?/(Holden)V-8

i think they'll always have an FWDer to appeal to people who have always been raised with FWD. something like the G6.

i agree with marketers that the new GTO failed precisely because it was only in 2 door form. it might have appealed to a broader audience had it been in 4 doors.

But hasn't GM hinted that Pontiac will be RWD-only in the next few years?
