xXx, Vin Diesel's turbo-charged take on a gentleman spy (ala James Bond), is still a week from release, but it seems like everyone is getting X-tra crazy. Columbia has already put the plans in motion for a sequel and now General Motors is getting in on the action.

James Bond has his BMWs and Aston Martins, Xander Cage has a 1967 GTO. But don't worry, he's set for an upgrade for the sequel. GM plans to release an updated model in 2003 and Vin's been tapped to showcase the new model at the 2003 Daytona 500. Eventually, when they shoot the sequel, GM will repay the favor by designing an all-new X-treme GTO for Xander and company.
