Its good to see GM will be getting on the right track again. I actually knew all this already. I also already know the F-Body will be back. Just don't go telling every1 yet.

If any of you know who Scott Settlemire and Jeff Yachina are, then you may know they are quitly telling F-body enthusiasts that exciting things are upcoming.

Read what he was saying...

Sigma architecture as a basis for a Camaro or Firebird replacement.
Notice that they referred to a Replacement, NOT a new Camaro or Firebird. It's promising, but not in the works. I was at the Autoshow this weekend, and to tell you the truth there was a Chevrolet & a Pontiac that looked to be a possible prototype of the next generation of sporty cars from each of the divisions.

Unfortunately there NOT what you will expect to be a "sports" car. They look to be targeted toward the youger generation of 25 & younger. I actually like the looks of them, but many here will disagree...

Unless GM owns a time machine the thirdgen is never going to be produced again... The 4th gens aren't on topic, a 5th gen isn't on topic, etc...
