Was there any hint of the camaro concept at 99 detroit auto show? I ran across this small article and don't remember any news about it. Has GM been sitting on this design since the late 90's and just watched ford and mopar eat up the market? Back then we were buyin a house,having another kid and I was changing jobs..did I miss this? and why does it look almost identical to the new camaro concept 7 years later?

1999 Pontiac GTO Concept
"During the 1999 Detroit Auto Show, about 25 years after the final GTO rolled off the assembly line, a GTO concept car with a heritage-inspired, Coke-bottle shape, grille, and hood scoop, was introduced to the world. Unfortunately, it was only a design experiment and had no engine. This concept never made it into production."
