ALL WHEEL DRIVE! :shock:

Now there's a Chevy I could drive! They should release that in the states under the Camaro nameplate or something (just as long as it's not a Pontiac w/ the stupid kidney grills). And with the 6 liter motor from the '05 GTO. Muhahahhhah!

Okay... that's still a Monaro... that means you can swap the AWD parts onto it ala 350Z/G35/Skyline. AWD GTO anybody?

I'd buy that for a dollar (or two).

Apparently Detroit thinks Americans only want retarded slow sedans like the Crown Vic and Impala (not the good Impala), unlike our Australian friends who get kick ass ones like Holdens & Falcons.
