Not for a while. "Lucy" is tucked away for the winter, along with the Olds "Ethyl".

lol Mike! That's some very harsh criticism for sure.
I couldn't comment i've never driven in one, but the body style of those vehicles are uuuugly IMO. Unlike the g8
My brother in law wants to get him a gxp g8, so we'll see.
Maybe i'll get to drive it sometime. ^.^

Trans-Am was a nice car, but it was just a rebadged Camaro, unlike the G8 or the Solstice. And the G6 was a new version of the Grand Am, another POS the the General has pushed off onto the public. Kind of like the HHR. Good looking vehicle, until you LOOK at it. It's just a POS Cavalier, like the PT Cruiser is a POS Neon.

If the TA is a rebadged Camaro wouldn't the Pontiac Solstice be a rebadged Saturn Sky? Thought was always that the TA was a higher class car then the Camaro just like the GMC is a higher class truck line then the Chevy's. No offense just the way I see it.

I always saw the Saturn Sky as a re-badged Pontiac Solstice?

The Solstice was out about 2 years before the sky

in the '70's they were a rebadged with more options than the camaro... after 93 it was a whole lot nicer of a body, and in the '68 or so when they came out, they were different cars!

The Saturn Sky was a re-badged Solstice, as was the Opel GT and the Daewoo G2X. The Opel GT, Saturn Sky, and G2X are almost identical. The Solstice is quite a bit different in looks, but still the same car (same Kappa platform). The G8 wasn't rebadged, in fact it was an import from Australia. The Camaro came 1st, then the Firechicken. Still the same platform, always. Ended as an "F" body. I agree, the TA was a nicer car than the Camaro. I'd take a WS6 in a HEART BEAT!
