The Camaro and GTO sharing a platform. Something about that just does not sound right. This poor GTO is doomed. Thanks Pontiac. :asshole ---

I think it looks like a 97-02 Grand Prix that is smoothed out a bit from the front and side and a Nissan Sentra from the rear. Overall I like the car but I do think for what it is they could of styled it a little bit more “pissed”. I liked the Trans Am styling a lot but I think that the people who could afford them didn’t…their kids mite of liked the styling. I feel that helped killed f-bodied (among other things) and GM styled and engineered this to appeal to the market that could afford it. Just my $.02. To sum it up cool car but could be have better styling. ---

pontiac has its head on straight!!! they advertise the GTO and the GXP and the 260hp whatever its called. back in the day when they advertised the SLICK BLACK TRANSAM at the stoplight, till this day thats the best damn commercial ever. advertising gets THE PRODUCT SOLD AND IMPROVED !!!. the camaro big hype in 1993 was it “looked like a rocket” mustangs don’t need advertising, they sell on thier own 🙂 🙂 “FUEL FOR THE SOUL” Props to pontiac and trying to bring back american muscle… better than the fucking NISSAN commercials thats always on.

The LS2 engine is nothing more than the same 6.0 litre escalade engine with a more agressive camshaft and a different set of heads… Thats it. ---
