Sad to say, the G8 just didn't sell here.

They are saying it wasn't promoted sufficiently.

No one knows what it is. I have yet to see one commercial for it. I guess the new Camaro will never get made as well?

My bet is that the Camaro will indeed be made.  It's one of the few things that GM might have done right - although I still think they screwed up the grille.

G8... hmmm..... I don't know why they didn't just make a better looking GTO??? Speaking of which, my instructor smashed up his '05 GTO pretty good at Road America this past Sunday. It was very WET! Lost it at the kink... I had one off road excursion on Saturday, but no damage done. Doing 115 MPH in the rain with a 90 degree turn closing in on you is... interesting!

From what I understand, the Camaro is a go, but the Z28 version is on hold.

My "half evil" Mustang.

I think I saw one on a transport vehicle a couple weeks back.

I think things can be a bit subjective here. Australians are not familiar with the GTO look, and when they look at how the front end of their beloved Monaro has been ugli-fied for those crazy yanks they just shake their heads.

I'm not particularly a fan of Holdens but this is the general attitude here.

Had a 66 Tempest, with a 326 mildly done up, using HO Racing Specialties stuff as a blueprint.  The 326 was a nice unit to work with.  Later I had a 68 Firebird, with the Poncho 350.  I had intended to swap that out for a 421 or 428, but my kid brother wrecked it.  I also ran around for brief periods in a 67 Tempest, a 67 Catalina, a 53 Chevy, and the first car I drove was a Ford Model A. 

Nowadays, I just go to the big Back to the 50s show at the MN State Fairgrounds.  I get my fun there.  And I bought an old guitar amp in the flea market thing in the back.

 Love those  Hot Wheels commercials, my older brother and I had alot of that stuff back in the day - Inevitably he ended up beating the crap outta me with the track, it really hurt! :sad:

Still have most of mine - like most stuff from when we were kids, they've gotten ridiculously expensive due to the collector's market. My fave from the collection:
