Let me put some Porsche badges on a Festiva and lets market it... such crap. isnt GM capable of creating its OWN GTO like theyre doing with the Camaro? I might not be fan of camaro's but i admit the new concept Camaro is very bold, maybe even surpasing the benchmark Ford set with the throwback badass retro styling and performance. Too bad the GTO was a halfa** sorry attepmt at the same thing... GTOs dont need projector headlights... its not a modern era car... Dont pass it off as one.... geez

Holden made a great car... no logical reason a BIG manufacturer cant create a brand new platform.. theyre doing it with the G8 and the Solstice which by the way I think stuffing an LS7 into a Solstice is like Shelby Cobra level insanity and I love it!

You do realize Holden is a GM brand just as Pontiac is, just as Saturn is, just as Olds was. In other words they are from the same parts bin and the stock holders are the same.
