Re: just saw the new GTO One thing that is for sure, the new GTO is NOT A GTO!!! Although I'm sure it will be redesigned and will grow on all of us...hopefully <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Come on Lutz, bring back the masculinity of the GTO>>>Where are the nostrils on the hood etc... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Re: just saw the new GTO Although their effort is somewhat admariable, I find the styling to be boring. What really gets me is that they will be charging a premium for a car that has already been develpoed by Holden. I guess those badges must cost a lot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
If and when the F-body ever comes back I hate to think of how they would reincarnate it. Maybe they will weld the rear doors shut on the new Grand Prix and rebadge it.

Because they were losing money on everyone that they were building...........Pure and simple.

Re: just saw the new GTO I say put some intakes into the hood, slap on a more classic style rear, throw in an in-hood tach, and maybe this car will work. For now though looks like its going to be just another grand prix with an LS1. 
Not what I would call deserving of the GTO badge but I guess its a start.

Re: just saw the new GTO
I agree... the new GTO looks like ape crap... if they take the badges off I'd confuse it with a grand prix...
Actually the Prix looks like it has more stones that the GA clone...
