Still, I can't wait to see what a production one looks like and to drive one. May consider a purchase during the SECOND model year!

I love the quad lamp headlights.
Now, the question is:
Is this really what it'll look like? Or an "artists conception"?

Uh...
No it isn't.
Not one body panel looks the same.
Totally different roofline.
Different b-pillars.
One's fastback, the other's not.
Doors are completely different.
NOT the same car with different bumpers.
Try "same platform with different bodies."

How much you wanna bet they come out with the same interior switchgear they've been using since 1984?

That'd be okay. If it's from 1984, it'll be knobs and levers. If it's from the 90's it'll be buttons for everything.
Early 90's Silverado "climate controls" FTFML.

I actually don't mind it, though IMHO they need to clean up the goofy fake rear diffusers. Too busy. I find it ironic Burt Reynolds is pictured. If you compare Burt now to how he looked in the original movie, and then compare this concept to the original Bandit car, they both look like their faces have been stretched and pulled back too much...
I think if they dump the vomitting chicken hood decal, 'da car aint bad. Of course, if GM builds them as crappy as the last ones, they won't last long.

Dude. Smokey and the Bandit. Sheesh!
The new T/A seems to share a lot of the lines w/ the Corvette. I mean, the rear window design, the rear valance, the sloping hood. Eh.
Way to look to the future GM.

Although they do look very similar, you can tell a big difference if you look closely.
Where the corvette is a 2-seater, you can see that the rear end past the glass is longer, and the cabin is smaller.
The Pontiacs glass is just the rear window, more than likely not a hatch.
The Corvettes front-end is more blunt, and the Ponticas comes to a point.
Although the roofline looks the same, the side windows are completely different.
The Pontics front-end is much taller than the Corvettes, which slopes down.
The Pontics front windshield is raked back further than the Corvette's.
Although they're similar, they're both very different cars. They're not different enough to justify building a new T/A though.
GM is trying to play the heritage game with the Camaro and T/A. They're hoping all the baby boomers that remember these cars from they're youth will start picking them up like hotcakes when they come out.
I believe they could've done much better, but they could have been much worse.

the vette and LSx motors are the only saving grace of GM. Most everything else sucks.You know what I'd love to see? A new version of an older car that has the same exact body as the old car, just touched up a bit. Like a chuki with a modern interior and junk. These radical design remakes of older cars are more miss than hit.

Anyway, if you hunt down the updates on these you'll find that the Camaro will receive a B-pillar before it hits the road. Other than that both cars are supposed to come out almost exactly like their concept forms.
I like them. They have balls. Personally, I'd have to break from tradition and avoid the screaming chicken. And, yes, the hood scoops are pretty stupid, but I could survive them or the Camaro's grille.

As nametakennow said, welcome to April. That is an ancient Winding Road article that speculated on what a possible Zeta Camaro based TA would look like.
GM has NOT stated whether Pontiac's next 2-door performance car will be the GTO or the TA.
NO NEW TRANS AM HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED.

You're right, still GM garbage.
The new camaro, mustang, and Trans Am are all prime examples of why I hate new cars. They're huge, full of plastic, and lack originality.
Notes:
I hate big cars. What the hell is with people wanting large vehicles? Sure most new cars are now pushing out high power, but the only reason is to compensate for their 3200lb+ design.
Retro styling sucks. Come on, this is the 21st century.
Marketing 
Anyone see the first episode of Dilbert where the creation of a marketing branch for Nirvana pretty much ruins the company?
And now that I think about it, the only new affordable car that I still enjoy is the Mazda MX5. Still has a decent wheelbase, the car has evolved and yet still looks great, and the new model comes with a hardtop.

If they did that with a 240z, theres no doubt at all it would sell like crazy.

I hope Ford doesn't ugly up the Mustang in the same fashion as the new F body...the concepts I've seen are quite disappointing 
they need to make it a for real fastback again...that'd be sweet.

exactly,corvettes are too expensive for the average joe to own,so there for to get their muscle car fix they buy a mustang gt and get a good platform to build off of.Granted the corvette has a better platform to build on,but not everyone wants to blow 50k and some change.

You know, I've been thinking of that too... Ever since I saw a video of Nomuken in a Nissan plant watching 180sx's being assembled...
I mean, hasn't GM and Ford release old 'new' chassis' for the public? But we know that's never happen in America for the import lovers...
