I really hope they dont ever make that hatch. *** save the poor sole who has to drive that thing around. 385hp or not, its still not attractive at all, especially knowing that is USED to be an awsome looking Trans Am...

that car looks kick a$$. i won't change a thing. what makes it look so cool is how sharp the edges of the "station wagon" part. how much does it cost?

I saw something like that a long time ago. Only it was called "El Camaro". I think we all know what I'm talking about. It didn't look too bad, but still, I probably wouldn't rush out to get one.
