Correct.
Both Mitsubishi and Pontiac ripped off the GTO name from Ferrari.
Ferrari came first, then Pontiac, and then SOON after: Mitsubishi....
SOON??? Well, Mitsubishi's first use of the title GTO was in 1970 with their Mitsubishi Galant GTO.
It was basically a not so pretty rip off of American muscle cars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Galant_GTO

Lets not try and fool our selves into thinking America has never churned out a Ricey looking car either.
The "Air Grabber" hood (the ones that popped up electronically) on the Plymouth GTX and the massive wing on the Daytona and Superbird come to mind...
I'm not really a fan of Mistubishi though because all they turn out is heavy AWD 'rally-esque' cars; BUT you could argue that something as flashy as say a Trans Am WS6 looks more "ricey" then the simple and decent looking lines of a 3000gt (in a way they are just as flashy as each other). Though the TA is arguably more attractive...
I also think that pic for the Galant GTO doesn't really do it justice (though it is pretty homely either way).
