I think it looks good but to much like a new body for the grand prix. It could defenitaly pass as a 2003 model for the GP. They better put some real power down to call it a GTO and if they do have a Judge coming out it better represent

I agree with parish8, the GTO looks tight. I love my 2002 SS, but there is a reason why they quit selling the f-bodies, they didn't sell. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Are those rims left over from the 97-99 Corvette? They sure look like it. They look hidious on the vette and worse on the GTO.

I think they look ok. If the performance can back it up, why not?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DONT LET SLP DO ANYTHING WITH THE NEW GTO!!!!

So far the pics I;d seen of the GTO just didnt live up to the Pontiac agressive styling so hopefully when the GTOs actually come out they will look better than all the Gran Prix with less style look a likes. Now Im not saying that they should go overboard like they did with the Aztec but maybe just add a tad bit more style.

(how is an ls1 a hopped up G/P? The Judge looks good for a 2004 era car.}
That's the problem [FORMULA]...it looks like a
2004 era car. I have posted this before....
GM always made [style-specific] designs. The
Camaro always looked like a Camaro, Vette & GTO
the same. The new 'look' is very round, very
european...ricey, if I may. So, we are all saying
if GM calls this a GTO...they are just sticking
GTO onto this 'Holden'. The [muscle-car],
GM buyer always loved the style-specific look GM created. Now it seems that is gone.
I am confident they will create a new Camaro
that will be style-specfic, however.

Putting an LS1 in a car doesn't mean it's a kickass car... it's gotta have styling. This grand prix doesn't have it
