Anyone find it odd that the G5 does not get the 2.0 S/C?
2 model years so far and no S/C....it would be an easy thing to do..makes one wonder why--espeically since it s Pontiac---it should at least match Chevy for power.
Reminds me of the thread where some one was claming the S/C is gone for 08 and the 2.4L SS will be top for that year (or at least part of the year)
I am lloking for ward tot he 2008s to see what will happen. I am still predicting no changes. (maybe paint, few options ect---very minor stuff)

Today on the way home from work I was in my beater car. 89 olds and behind me was a G5. It was black and at first I thought it was a black ss/sc. When it got closer I realized it was a G5. The car looked very nice, would not mind one but it would have to have a s/c on it. Its to bad, they would be nice with a turbo or a s/c.
Firebird is absolutely, undeniabily, without a doubt DEAD for the forseeable future. GTO will replace the bird as Camaro's sister car.
If you don't beleive me, (not saying you don't) then think about it like this. The GTO will share the same platform with the new camaro, same engine, but be slighty more upscale and be slightly more pricier so Firebird's role is already taken.
Now with pontiacs lineup being reduced and streamlined, do you honestly think that they would allow ANOTHER rwd V8 pony car in?
Remember, the 4th gen Camaro's may have sold moderately bad, but the 4th gen firebirds sold TERRIBLY. And on top of that they cannibalized each others sales.

Yea, I think the Firebird deff. cannibalized each others sales with the Camaro. Good point.
