And from what I have seen of the new GTO that Pontiac is going to produce, it looks like a fancy Grand Prix. Will be a BOMB.

You read it here first: The Australian GTO is going to sell like hotcakes. GM will not be able to keep up with demand.

The upcoming GTO is more like the original in idea, than any of the 'other names that have been dragged through the dirt'.

The original GTO that many of us gear heads love, and even man of the non-gear heads understand and evewn respect, came about from a normal looking family car.

All the complaints that the new GTO looks "too much like a Honda" kinda hit the nail on the head. The best selling cars look like this GTO, so in essence, they took a popular body, (the popular looks anyways) and turned it into a hot rod.

This is the exact formula of the original GTO. If GM were to try and re-make the original GTO, it would probably be a huge flop. Personally, i am suprised that the New Beetle is still being bought. It was neat when they came out, but I figured (and hoped) that the 'neatness' would go away and the car would die.

The GTO is gonna be a smash, and the only thing I see that will hold it back will be its price. IRS, 4 wheel disc brakes, leather seats... Most of the people who buy $30,xxx and up cars, are not looking for a hot rod, hence the death of the F-body cars. Not to mention the fact that they are starting this car off all loaded up and no where to go. There is very little room for improvemnt, and therefor, unfortunantly, will be a short lived model here in the states.

I hope I am wrong. We need more hot rods.
