Spied: 2008 Pontiac GTO!
This one's a winner -- The design for the new GTO coming to Pontiac showrooms in 2007 as a 2008 model. The big, rear-drive sport coupe will be designed and built in the U.S., possibly at GM's Hamtramck or Wilmington plants, and it's likely to show up in concept form at a 2006 auto show, probably Detroit in January.

Internally called the GMX282, the 2008 GTO will be built on GM's new Zeta platform, now under development in Australia by GM's Holden subsidiary. The Zeta platform brings new suspension all around, with a more sophisticated independent rearend promising better traction and even sweeter handling. The wheelbase has grown marginally to 110 inches. The next GTO will carry over the 6.0-liter, 400-horse LS2 from the current car as well as the six speed manual transmission.

In Pontiac showrooms in 2007 as a 2008 model? What year is it currently?

This car looks like a 1994 Grand Prix SE.

Actually, I think it would be the 78 Trans Am. But you know what else it looks like? Does anyone else think it looks like the Alfa Brera on steroids?

I was hoping for the 67 GTO look, but I guess that would be redundant being sold next to the new Camaro.

That drawing looks worse than the last GTO!

Why does A-Spies even bother posting this (old/tired) tripe?

Do they get commissions of the number of (so-called) 'NEWS' items they post in a given period?

NEXT!

Def Trans-AM roots in that look. Not too bad but I think the current GTo looks better. Gotta wait and see...

Wow, a dated "design" and a completely wrong date of release...

The new Camaro isn't even coming out until 2008+. The GTO, which nobody knows anything about (we're not even sure if it's a reality), wouldn't come out until later.

^ Agreed!

It only serves to further undermine the already strained credibility of 'news' items posted here...

Do it for the greater good of automotive pseudo-journalism - Please?

That's a fake if I ever saw it. That's someone's concept drawing that was shown around the time the 06' came out. And in 2007 using the zeta platform? Not going to happen. If that were the case, then that'd mean the 08' GTO would basically be an 06' with a slight body change. There'd be no other design changes to the car and thus would be complete waste of a car and building dollars. We're not going to see another GTO until around Camaro time or probably after.
