|  What the new GTO should look like...
Same guy who did the nice and clean looking G8 concept I posted before, has done this as well. I reaaaaly dig it. 
If the Firebird didn't come back, and the GTO looked like that above, I would feel alright.

It's ok, I'm not crazy about the front bumper. I wish I could see the rest of the car, the quarter panel looks a little goofy, like a first gen Tiburon (I'm gonna get shot for that comment). I wanna see more.

That's an alright conception.......it's not too retro which is why I like the Camaro Concept so much.

No, I agree, the rear quarter has the Tib look to it. I also would like to see more, but GL on that :\

With each passing day, I'm more convinced there's not going to be any new GTO. All the renderings out there are by private individuals. Nothing from GM.
Heck, the Camaro prototypes are already running. And we don't even have a good concept sketch of a GTO from GM. I believe time will prove me correct ... wait and see.

I like the curves or creases on the hood. The grill does look like something off an order model. I think the front valance should be opened up to look sportier. And, maybe the fog lights can be reshaped. If headlights can be contoured, why not fog lights too?

Needless to say he's VERY good, even if you don't like the model you can't deny the skill and realism. I'm a nerd and can spot fake stuff easily, and he does a FANTASTIC job.

It's a photoshopped picture of the Camaro Concept.

Fuck no. The reason I bought a GTO in the first place is because of the Holden Monaro. If it was some retro half futuristic thing it would have never made my possible vehicle list when I was looking for a new car. | |
