Default 2014 GTO Judge

The guys at Trans Am Depot have done a pretty good job with this (except for the hood scoops). I can imagine (fantasize) GM authorizing aftermarket Pontiac conversions and selling them at Buick/GMC dealers, like the ASC WS6 deal. Could be a way to work the brand back into the mix without freaking out the Feds.

Agreed on rear, it's kinda boring and dated, the front looks good though.

Default Let it go.

C'mon guys, I liked Pontiac cars, in fact bought several of them over the years, mainly the Grand Prix, but we've got to let it go. Some were good looking cars, some were gaudy. But fact of the matter is, it's over. Let the GTO, Trans Am, Grand Prix, etc., RIP.

What next, dig up JFK cuz we miss him too?

As much as I like the thought of a new Judge, that nameplate shouldn't share a platform with a Camaro, EVER.

As for looks, as said front is good, I think the rear tail lights are too low, and if raised 4" or so, might look a lot better?

The rear looks like an 80's concept designed by Homer Simpson.

Nope. When are people going to get off this nostalgia kick and design modern cars, not modernized classic designs?

For some reason they can never get the rear ends of these Pontiac recreations to look good.

i dont like any car that is based on the 5th gen body. The actual camaro is ok, but it can look a lot better with a few appearance mods, everything else looks like **** imo.

GM should hire, a few chrysler designers

They did this with the 04-06 GTO's and they got berated for it.

I don't think it looks bad, it just doesn't make much sense to build a GTO on a Camaro platform. The best thing that can come of this is that this and the Hurst T/A sell well and it shows GM that there's a demand for Pontiac cars. It's a longshot but one can dream.

The team of ugly midget designers molded it with ****, beat it with the nuckin fugly stick, then ran it thru the turdwash. That thing is an abomination and should be burnt.
