Trying to tout one ugly monstrosity over the other is like trying to pick the most tasty cat turd.They are SOOOOO ugly I would atually prefer the new GT-R. That's saying a lot. That thing is butt-ugly too but at least it does not actually induce vomiting like these things.

Maybe it'll have a good suspension design with it's Monte Carlo chassis? Time'll tell I guess.

Welcome to April, people.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. http://news.windingroad.com/co...ments

That TA concept is NOT official.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.

True, it may be a GTO, but, given the relation between GM products in the past, a Camaro's Pontiac equivalent will likely be a Firebird/TA.

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.
Yea, its somewhere between 460nm and smurf blue.

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...

Both the Camaro and Trans Am are nice cars to be sure. As a former Trans Am Owner (1974 SD-455 and 400) I can't wait to see it in person, but I have one serious question. After seeing the new Dodge Challenger I have to wonder if the Camaro, Trans Am, and Mustang will be taking a back seat. Dodge has definitely nailed it this time| Quote, originally posted by maddslow » | |

It'll never get made cause GM already said they where dropping the Pontiac brand at the end of the G8 run. So unless it cokes out as a Buick, it won't happen. Oh, and that thing is hidious!!
