What do you guys think of the new GTO?
What do you guys think of the new Pontiac GTO coming out? They say it has an "estimated 340hp", but I doubt it will be that high in production. I think the styling is O.K....at least its a coupe. I wish they took the time to design a good looking car instead of taking the body from some Australian car. What do you guys think of it?? Anyone think they are gonna buy one?

I hope the estimated hp isn't another ford cobra incident. Steve

Hopefully GM doesn't turn the new GTO into some kind of V6 or 4 banger front wheel drive, like Ford did with the Mercury Cougar.

Did you guys see the pics in car craft. They had the new GTO and a Mustang pic right next to each other. Looked pretty similar.

I think the GTO looks like a glorified Grand Am. They should have went with the first concept of the GTO that was out. It had the '66-'67 Goat grille but more modernistic. Now along the lines of new cars..I am not a Ford person although I have had quite a few but when this comes out I just may have to go to the other side. This is one ****** Mustang due out in '05. Looks like the old '67's. DMorris and 4 Jaw I imagine you guys would like this. You can check it out more here.

The GTO is a cross between a Grand AM and a Monte.
I think they should of went with the G6 body for the GTO. The G6 is a proto type body. It should be on display at the new car shows.

I like the new Mustang concept, now they just gotta build it. And the gto does look like a Grand am knockoff, but keep it rear wheel drive and put a few horse to it and they may have something.

I haven't seen the new GTO yet. Anyone have pics? That new mustang looks hot, any more shots of it? How about Gone in 60 seconds of the future?

I personally feel ashamed that pontiac did that to the legendary name of a GTO.

I think its just plain ugly...it looks like a family sedan. They should make it look as aggressive as the WS-6 Trans Am....that would be cool
At least it has an LS-1 though. [ February 08, 2003: Message edited by: mustang66maniac ]</p>
