It will compete the same way that the Camaro competes with the RX-8.
Pretty much down the line.
...compared to the BRZ:
Worse interior, handling
Better torque, power, heavier
They can't do "lightweight" or "suspension". They even say in the concept that is linked that the chassis will be based on the Cruze...
People will still buy it. Unfortunately.

If GM is gonna mess around with stuff like that, just bring Pontiac back as your performance division already. They should have never axed it in the 1st place, but we all know GM has a history of not listening to what their customers want anyway.

I think people are misinterpreting what is meant by "looks like". It does look like an RX-8. It has some styling cues that were butchered from a series II RX-8. It's not that someone would confuse it with an RX-8 if it one drove by.
I don't think anyone is trying to argue that it looks as good as the 8 or even comparing it directly to the 8. There are just some similarities.

I don't get it??? This new platform which will be the chassis for the next Camaro, is due to run a 2.0 turbo with 270HP/260 Ft/lbs, so why the lame 1.4 turbo? Looks like GM is going to shoot themselves in the foot before production. If your going to tout how great the car is, at least use some of your assets.
