Would be nice to see the "performance" lineup actually get some more performance cars. Switching to RWD is half the battle, now they need to put some power in them.
Test drove a Solstice GXP and was pretty surprised at how well it could get up and go, would give my mild modded GTP a run for its money on a drag strip, would roast it around on the corners with ease. :)

Hmm, they missed some facts....
Torrent is NOT dead... it will move to the GMC line.
G5's RWD Alpha replacement, if it happens, won't be called G5.
At least they got the G8 info right.

I would like to see an actual name stick to them rather than designate them as a letter than number like the Germans do.
Someone did point out though...
G R A N D A M
G 1 2 3 4 5 6
G R A N D P R I X
G 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Think that is just a coincidence though and someone maybe looking for a hidden message in every little thing like the people looking for what "Cloverfield" is. :jest: Ford did bring the Taurus nameplate back, so you really never know.
