Hopefully it’s just a rumor (or someone with a sandy vag at GM). I thought the G8 was a pretty sure thing? ---

So what does that mean for the G8 that is supposed to hit the market soon? Are they not going to produce it in RWD trim? Not produce it at all? ---

This was in reference to the 2nd gen G8 they were going to base off the Camaro, not the one coming out soon based off the Holden Commodore. That G8 will probably be the only one we ever see though, since meeting the new regs with a full size V8 car is going to be tough. Thinking I may want to pick up a winter beater and start storing the GTO to make it last longer. Originally my plan was to drive it for 5-7 years and replace it with what ever caught my eye at that time, but now I’m starting to think cars 5-7 years from now are really going to suck.
