They were reskinned version of the same exact car.

The firebird can stay dead as far as I'm concerned but the Camaro has the History and needs to come back. Let's hope GM makes the new GTO retro like the new camaro.

Your point about disimilarity between the traditional charger and 300c platforms from the past to now is well taken and I conceed on that point.

But a retro looking GTO like the Challenger and Camaro harken to the 70-73 and 67-69 respectivley?!?!?!?!? with this:



What do you see when you see this concept?!!?!?!?!?????.....
I see a 67-69 FIREBIRD........I don't see no GTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is why I posed the question above.
The new 300c does have stylng cue that harken to the classic ones....Granted the Charger now has four doors but the A pillars harken the the 66-67 chargers. Both 300c and Chargers where big muscle car sedans back in the day and are now. But the concept above is a pony car coupe. The GTO was never a pony car coupe. My point is why not call a spade a spade and call that thing in the picture above a FIREBIRD?!?!?!?!?!
