I can go down to my local dealer the car one, not the one who thinks his clients are his friends, choose between a wagon, ute or sedan. V8 or V6, in a wide variety of colour and a choice of either manual or auto.
I feel real guilty. Then I think "Where's Australia's Challenger? Where's Australia's Camaro the one the Aussie designed and engineered , Where's our Roush Mustang?
Suddenly I don't feel so bad for my American brothers and sisters.
Still feel a little guilty when I drive past Artarmon Holden & HSV and see what would have been a Pontiac grill now on a Holden. #pontiacg8gxp

Now...not so much. Plus, there isn't a bogus-ass scoop-delete option.
The Bondo required to fix the excessive holes will significantly affect performance in a negative manner. #pontiacg8gxp

Yeah! Damned right!
For me, this nose goes back to the early generations of Grand Am, which had an expiration date of 1991, and by then, it smelled funny enough to have not needed a date telling you it'd gone bad.
I've seen all of one of these on the road, and what was appealing, though not to many people, is the borderline generic look. This is why I liked the last GTO, pre-scoop skankafication. That, and it's as close to a haul-ass Holden as I'm likely to get.
Oh, and your screen name, alone, deserves a clicky. Nice to see I'm not the only one.... #pontiacg8gxp

BTW, it's "Field," not "Fields," unless you're talking about more than one Sally Field

One yes is insufficient. We need a whole lot of yes to lavish upon this car. This boxed set of Yes is a good start...

Me likey... Really. I think this is the first version of the new-generation Camaro that I've liked much at all. Sure, there was that all black edition I saw at the car show, but this ... THIS ... I wish they'd had this on the showroom floor when I'd bought my '98 Trans Am. (Of course, I wouldn't have been able to afford the price tag.)
Another thought - T/A Conversion Kit... Sounds to me like a Tits & Ass Converging Kit or T.A.C.K. for short.
And on one final note, I've seen the comments that this looks way better than the white Lingenfelter one. I think the Lingenfelter version is meant to appeal to the early generation enthusiasts - the same era from whence the Camaro's retro styling was borrowed. Think Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. This version, however, is to all of us who grew up on Smokey and the Bandit. Next up will be the KITT version... #pontiactransam

Them's fighting words. Sally's a pretty good-looking grammy.
The color and lighting combine to make the car pretty hard to see. And the giant screaming chicken makes it hard to look at. The enormous decals are done, let them stay gone. I know I come across as a "things were better back in the day" kind of curmudgeon, but the decal is just goofy. #pontiactransam
