Default RE: GTO

Pontiac should have left a lot of the styling alone when they took the Holden Monaro and changed it to a GTO. Holden pretty much had it right already and Pontiac came along and Grand Am/Prix'ized it. From what I hear, GTO will no longer be imported from Australia but made in the States and GTO and Camaro will be very similar in body and engines almost like a Firebird/Camaro relationship but not quite as close so consequently a redesigned GTO will debut the same time the new Camaro's come out. Honestly, unless the GTO's redesign is totally kick-*** I don't think it will impact Camaro. The GTO that's out now isn't selling that well as is.

Show me another 400 hp sports car that starts at $32,000
That's what's great about it. We got our '04 with the supercharger, exhaust, aftermarket hood and dealer option wheels for just under $34. Why you may ask? The '05s were just starting to hit the lots and they had reduced the price of this one to the price of an '05 basically. We couldn't turn down 75 extra ponies and 85 extra ft-lbs for the same price.

although the new gto's are definately bland in styling, they are in fact rather nice as a sports car.
Isn't that what makes it a GTO? The nondescript look with a lot of power? I know that's what we love about it.

whats the point in buying the car if u arent gonna drive the thing? its a beast, drive it like one and enjoy it
I couldn't agree with you more! Why preserve a car for someone else to drive. When that new Camaro comes out I'm going to drive it!

Depends on who you ask if it has been canceled or not. If you are curious, you can always visit the other website I am a member of (for GTO purposes anyway): www.ls1gto.com.

according to GMinside news, they are cancelling the GTO for about 12-24 months. the only reason is that the new platform is not ready, and GM only signed a 3 year agreement with Holden.

True they did only have a three-year contract. The real question, not to get sidetracked about a diferent model than the Camaro, is if they will make a new GTO here in the states. Personally I don't think it will happen. Besides I have also heard that they will not make a Firebird version when they bring out the Camaro. That leaves one to speculate if they will can Pontiac in the next decade or so.
