TV show RIDES, Ford's code named "daisy" project
Have you guys seen the episode? Ford's "Petunia" project was the Ford GT prototype & now "Daisy" is a new "Cobra" protoype. The car has a V10 & is actually a very well done, enhanced design of the original. Am not a Ford person, but do respect their understanding of how not to f'ck up an icon; unlike GM's re-birth of the GTO.
Don't know if the design will make it into production, but the fully functional protype sure is nice.

Oh, I meant that the new GTO design is a total POS, appearance wise. Looks like a souped up Cavalier. GM did nothing to improve or even maintain the iconical appearance of the original GTO. Similar to the crap that Chrysler put out in the 80's w/ the freakin' Dodge Charger non-sense.

Iconical appearance of the original GTO? You mean the souped up Tempest? The Tempest looked quite a bit like every other car in the 60s, and in it's base forms wasn't much more than an economy car. The LeMans was a bit more exciting, but still nothing overly-special. The original GTO was a powerful engine in a midsized coupe painted some cool colors. I don't know how that criteria could have been met much better, unless you wanted the obligatory American-Pontiac scoops and strakes that plagued the early-mid 90s. The GTO was the best car overall Pontiac put out in a LONG time, and it's a shame the American public didn't embrace it better. People's rose-colored glasses are getting a bit thick, IMO.

The only thing wrong AT ALL with the 04-06 GTO was it's name. It was an awesome car all around, it just should never have been called "GTO".
