GM to build new Firebird, Trans AM alongside Camaro?

As previously reported, General Motors is nearing a decision on how it will proceed with the Chevrolet Camaro project. According to a report published by AutoSpies today, GM might also announced the return of the Firebird and Trans AM. It sounds like GM might be considering building the two cars on the same architecture as the 2008/2009 Camaro -- similar to the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky/Opel GT trio. The Leftlane Perspective: This is an interesting idea, but GM should avoid diluting the Camaro. If they're going to do it, unique body styles will be essential.
