A 4 door v8 replacement for the GTO. They started a thread on my site with some sneaks from the video they will show Tuesday or Wednesday [http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/topic.asp?TOPIC\_ID=2836](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2836) Here is a fan site for them [http://www.g8board.com/](http://www.g8board.com/) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/1170340503554637.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/1170340503554637.jpg) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/1170340503550394.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/1170340503550394.jpg) ---

I like this car, but with the GTO selling so slowly I’m not sure how well this will do. Rumor has it that this car will see a major, more distinct refresh within a few years. ---

I found a Chevrolet Epica on the GM Media site. Looks similiar. And was grouped with a bunch of Holden cars. ![http://us.tnpv.net/2007/GMC200702/GMC2007020242783_PV.jpg](http://us.tnpv.net/2007/GMC200702/GMC2007020242783_PV.jpg) ---

this isnt a GTO replacement, theres still gonna be a new GTO based off the camaro platform most likely. this is the grand prix replacement, except not shitty. The top of the line G8 is the fast one with 400HP but they’re going to have entry level versions as well… ---

> [@Mrs. Karus](#): > > be quiet camaro boy. 😉 If all cars looked like Camaros, then there would be style 😛 Mullets would be optional 🙂 Except with a first gen. They wouldn’t be allowed. ---
