@Damagination: You have a point with the non-white trash part, but the point is white trash here. But, even though I wouldn't be classified as trash in any sense of the word, I see what you mean.

@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: But is it The F-Bomb Camaro??
@Damagination: As someone who is not white, I believe that is a start right there...
@dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: I defy this stereotype every day. And what do you have against schnozzes?
"AUDI: Our customers don't try to kill us."
@Shokract: I'm pretty sure they chose Muscle Cars for the Badass factor. And apparently, it is possible to "drive' a Muscle Car. There are many examples of them being "driven". Not all are created to go in a straight line, ya know.
@RB26Skyline: Let's say, hypothetically... Country A has a problem with Country B. Country A is friendly with Country C. Country C does not want to start trouble with Country B. Country A decides to set up base in Country C to fight the bad guys from Country B. In the process, Country A takes out members of Country…
@cobrajoe - Proud Minardiate: You have a point, there was no huge change from the Commodore's chassis, but thats because there was no need for it. The Pontiac grill, in my opinion, gave the car half of its ballsy stance. That, and the blacked out tailights.
@cobrajoe - Proud Minardiate: I know what you're saying, but at the same time, the G8 was also a great sleeper. Comparing the two side by side, I'd say the overall design/stance of the G8 just looks better. And it would still catch the same amount of attention as the Falcon.
@rebeldevil: By looking at the lettering, I believe it might be of the German variety. VW would be my guess, but I am, by far, no expert.
@KaBoomBOX: Black vinyl lower body color treatment? Thats just black paint. The grills were plastic, yes, but what else do you expect? The bowling ball hubcaps were there for the overall aerodynamics of the car. The Trans Am had the lowest drag coefficient of any production car tested up to that point. The front…
@Cross Plane Stank Shaft: I'll let you know sometime soon. My brother is looking to do an LS swap in his third gen.
@Duc: Something tells me if you ask Jezebel readers if they can drive a stick, the results will be the same as on Jalopnik...
@accipiter: Too soon, man... too soon...
@Cross Plane Stank Shaft: They were the most aerodynamic cars The General had ever tested up until then.
@Steve Neill: This sounds oddly familiar... I used to watch Knight Rider on Saturday mornings, too. The show, combined with my dad's '83 Trans Am, had a huge a role in my love for cars, especially the Trans Ams. There's something to be said about a black, early third gen, with the gold trim on the bottom...
@87CapriceEstate rooting for the New York Liberty: Sounds like something involving the female genitalia.
@anastos: Do we need to bring in Marcus Phoenix to handle this?
@Mikeado watches too much TopGear: You say "inspired", I say "lifted"... potato, tomato, etc...
