Oh wait they do, its called the GTO...this one just happened to be SC'd. Did Americans buy the GTO? No. So now you know why GM wont sell these cars here. Blame the market, not GM.

I own a GTO myself and I cant understand why it wasnt a huge car here.

I am in agreement. It's our crappy market, high fuel costs and metrosexual wierdos. If everyone was like us, this wouldn't be an issue. Camaros, Caprice SS's, Impala SS's, Trans Ams, Firebirds, GTO's and cough cough cough, Mustangs FOREVER. Trucks are trucks. That's all. Can't everyone see what cool cars are?
