The Ram Air VI looks so much better than the black car. So much smoother.

The US designed body stuff looks like crap on the black car.

The Ram Air VI is pure sex though, hopefully they will find a way to produce a few in the future.

since the last year of this Chassis is next year (2006 model) I would be surprised if they did that. Hopefully the next-Gen 2007 model will have styling inspired by this car. The Wheel flares and coke bottle waist "MAKE" this car. Absolutly love it.

FWIW though, after spending some time behind the wheel of the GTO, I have to say the ride is great, but I wouldn't call it Sporty. On one hand I think it would be great to have soft tuned "Touring" and sport tuned "Track" flavor of the car....On the Other Hand I think creating multiple "GTO-Lines" will Dilute the brand.

Take for example the Trans Am. Because there is a "regular" Trans Am and a "WS6", the "regular" Trans Am looses some of it's appeal and people think it's lower-end. At that point "WS6" becomes the strong brand as "Trans Am" becomes diluted. Likewise by only having one "GTO" it makes the brand stronger.

...or maybe I'm just rambling.
