From the info I had prior the announcement, I thought it was going to be a late 07 production start. When they said late 08, I was a little thrown back, but this makes sence to what I remember being told. Who knows.

Savage_Messiah 10-01-2006 01:04 AM

first quarter 09 minus 1 yr = 1st quarter 08 = 3 months from now?!

BigAls87Z28 10-01-2006 01:09 AM

Basicly, this link says that by Jan of 08, you could purchase a Camaro, instead of 2009.

Savage_Messiah 10-01-2006 01:22 AM

this needs a new thread, methinks.

That would be great: under promise & over deliver.

YES! This is the most bad ass 4 door next to the CTS-V. I wonder what the pricing will be on the AWD version.

WayFast84 10-01-2006 09:20 PM

no offence but the old sti's are alot nicer then this...

maybe not as good as the lumina ss i posted before but that will never happen

Ian 10-01-2006 09:47 PM

old STI's looke like crap IMO. but to each their own I suppose. I know that if I'm in a finacial position that allows me to buy a new car, that converted holden will be on the top of my list!

r0nin89 10-01-2006 09:52 PM

So am I lacking in knowledge? Is a Commodore a euro car that Pontiac is redistributing is how I took it correct? Car doesnt look too bad but I'm not a big 4door fan. As far as the Camaro being brought up, that things downfall as far as it being retro will be no choice of bigblock... Unless they plan on releasing it with an LS7 (427 sb right?) it will flop with the performance crowd.

Holden is GM's Australlian arm.

A high school kids shouldn't be a big fan of a 4dr. You are not even close to the target market. I am. I have the money and want to buy a new Camaro, but can't. I can't realy pull off a Camaro since I have kids.

Big block? There hasn't been a big block in a Camaro since what, 1973? And not in a passanger car in over 20 years. You think an LS2 Camaro wouldn't be fast enough? Please. :huh:

Like Bozo said, Holden is the name of GM's Aussie division, same place we got the GTO.
Camaro is a downfall without a big block? Big Block first gens could easily be smoked by "small block" LS1 powerd Fbodies, and probably LT1 powerd ones as well. The big block is gone for now, it probably wont even show up in the SUV's anymore.

It'll be Camaro time in no time at all!

Savage_Messiah 10-02-2006 03:28 AM

i totally read that **** wrong

r0nin89 10-02-2006 06:59 AM

<--- Not too much of an LTx / LSx fan. I like the old school and big block just happens to do it for me more than a small block!

This holden is actually going to be used as the new grand prix in 2009 so I've heard here's a picture of it with the Pontiac nose and badging.http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...Grand-Prix.jpg
