If General Motors keeps this up, it may soon be time to open the wallet again. ;)

I dig the idea of this car but the execution as seen on the net or in the magazines leaves me a bit disappointed.

Looks like a 90's wannabe ...

Needs bolder styling for america in my opinion

Great powertrain and chassis in need of some real american style..

Road and Track sez the General is looking at using the Camaro platform for a new/old Tempest. How many of those will end up being modded to look like GTO Judges?

Should be able to dust the Charger if all of this ends up happening. The Charger weighs 4100 pounds. Apparently the Commodore only weighs 3400 pounds. Very nice. 0-60 in 5.1 seconds.

I like the looks of it too.

Kerri's been looking at the Charger, the killer about it and most Dodge vehicles, MPG, it's sticker says 15-Town - 20 Hwy.

So were currently thinking a vehicle to replace her SuperCharged Grand Prix could be the new Camaro or possible this RWD Grand Prix if it pans out, time will tell.

A little write up on the Commodore by Car and Driver. I like it!
