I heard that they might make it but the picture I saw looked just like a GTO with Buick badges on it.

Reminds me of Z4 Beemer (side) with a hint of Toyota Supra (front clip). The rear looks like a Stratus. [:'(]

They certainly weren't trying to go retro. That's what I was expecting.

I was thinking more, Supra Front endish, and a mix of a 350z

Please tell me this is a joke! First off, the car looks like something that GM would put out (hint GTO hint). Secondly... an LS2? WTF! The whole thing that made the GN a badass car was the fact that it had one hell of a V6 in it. You mean to tell me that with all the technology in the past twenty year that they cant make a 500 hp V6 and keep the car of somewhat original origin? What BS. I perconally believe that GM is still hurting really bad from the loss of the Fbody and they are still trying to make up for it with crap like this and some Austrailian car deemed the "GTO".

To me personally that car looks foreign as hell. In this case a very good thing. Its beautiful. It looks like if a 350z, supra , vanquish mixed together. It still looks like there trying to be more upscale luxury fast instead of racer boy image like a camaro has. It definetly wouldn't replace it in anyway. I don't why they would make it as it seems the gto is already in that role.

I'd drive it, but the first thing I would do is swap the front bumper. That one looks too importish.
