The GTO was a great car. I raced one with my dad’s Ford Galaxies. My friend had the Judge version. To bad GM screwed up both the Olds and Pontiac brands. Ford screwed up with Mercury and now they are screwing up Lincoln.

The GTO Judge, the only car in history to be named after a comedy routine. But what they’re worth today, in any condition is no joke.

The largest screwup at Ford is throwing Eco-Boost at everything and anything. That's something that needs to belong elsewhere.

The second-largest one was making their US lineup less American. It's one thing to adapt the lineup to other countries, it's something else entirely to make it look like something straight out of Europe.

That, and it is quite absurd to see them not even put a V6 in their Aston-Martin inspired Mondeo. The only decent thing to ask for as an option is to rip out the I4 and its associated parts, replaced by a more properly-fitting V6.

Too bad GM screwed up both the Olds and Pontiac brands.

Agreed, and to a greater extent that they've turned Buick into an Opel rebrand, instead of merging Oldsmobile into it.
