I could give a fuck less if Pontiac made a car that looked just like a Grand Prix but had a good engine and RWD. What I take issue with is them doing so and trying to slap the name GTO on it purely to sell cars and appeal to musclecar enthusiasts. ---

Everyone knows an M3 is a hopped up 3 series. You dont see Chevy dropping a V8 into a Lumina and calling it a Chevelle.

Rear Wheel Drive Coupe. High Powered Engine. Seats 4 Passengers comfortably. 🤣 I dont care how “muscle car’ish” it is. It doesnt have even the slightest hint of the late 60’s (or any other) GTO to it. It looks like a fucking 2 door grand prix. Thats my issue with it. Nothing more, nothing less.
