I really, really, wish I hadn't seen that. That is a very, very sweet car. Now GM may have to come out with a Z28 Camaro, or they will likely lose some Camaro hopefuls. That car is sick as hell!

Agreed. It also looks much better than the last GT500.

I think the front looks good when the photo exaggerates the fenders, however i think it looks like the last mustang from all other angles. I could never see myself driving such a big square like car.

Does anyone else get an EVO X vibe from the front end??

I only scanned the article. Did they make any changes to the suspension?

Only thing missing to compete with a broader market is an automatic transmission with paddle-shifters. Without it I don't think this car will appeal to people in the market for IS-Fs or C63 AMGs or even the other muscle cars. I'd definitely be all over this car if it didn't come with just a manual. 500 hp for $55k is a bargain.

Tweaks, yes. Design change, no.

I saw that article yesterday. Nice looking from the outside, but the interior is yuck.

Why do company's keep making beautiful sports cars, with crap interiors. I know sports car purists will say, that its not in the true nature of a sports car, but If I drop that kind of dough, I want a quality plush interior.

The seats in the GT500 are nice but the rest is Kia/Saturn Esq.

My dad has an '07 GT500 and although it is fun when you stomp on the gas, it is at the bottom of the list for my choices of daily drivers. I despise the clutch that's in it, the suspension is sloppy, wheel hop is horrible, and it overall does not inspire confidence at speed.
