Why did they drop the GTO
Why'd they axe the Goat? Same reason they brought it out, sales. Maybe some mook upstairs realized that, as bad as the car is, there is already a GM "Performance-Niche" car, the 'Vette. And at the Goat's price, one would be better off to get the 'Vette.
As far as the new Camaro, I'd say that it will be just slightly better than the Mustang (I just pray that it's lighter than that 3800lb behemoth), as it has plenty of time to get tweeked into just-a-step-betterness that the camaro has almost always enjoyed. Personally, I love the styling Chevy has showed interest in so far for the new one, and hope they stick with it. It has the loooooong look of the newer models (Charger, Mustang) but is definately reminescent of all four previous generations. And, maybe we'll all be lucky and the new Maro will be cheaper than the Mustang and Charger/Challenger/Magnumetc, which would help sales out greatly...

yeah the gto was just not worth the 32k they were asking. Dont get me wrong the engine is great, along with the performance but it is in a car that looks like the grand prix. The camaro will be a great seller if it prices it at the mustang level. If they charge 32k no young people can afford cars like that. The design is perfect it is the marketing and price level what gm is gonna have to get right this time.
Hey man I liked the style of the GTO its one of those cars that looks like its just a family car the perfect sleeper. It dosen't have to speed lines like a camaro or corvette besides its got a big *** motor and it can fly
They are nice cars, but you can hardly pick them out from a pontiac line-up. I work for GM and the excitment at first was huge, but when we, and the customers, saw them that stopped. Plus sales never started.
