lol

I dont remember any CTS-V’s being a huge musclecar name back in the day… please remain relevant.

see, ford guy trying to jump on the Fast badwagon :kekegay:
doesnt look good :madfawk: :slight_smile:

:ugh:

This has nothing to do with what we’re talking about. 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.

Ohh fuck, not BMW too…

tell me, whats not so muscle car’ish about the 05 GTO?

Muscle Car. Rear Wheel Drive Coupe. High Powered Engine. Seats 4 Passengers comfortably.

2005 GTO. Rear Wheel Drive Coupe. High Powered Engine. Seats 4 Passengers comfortably.

GTO will sell to the 30+ crowd.

hell, my mother thinks the new GTO looks very nice. My dad likes the new GTO also

The GTO name is what is selling it :cool:

I forgot to mention

MOTHER is all about MOPAR CRAP
DAD loves ford

:nuts:

2005 GTO could become the future mustang ( selling millions ) :boink

If they called the new GTO a Grand Prix GT-R or something like that I wouldnt care. 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. (I only say Lumina because all the mid size Chevy cars have already stolen old namesakes… Malibu, Monte Carlo, Impala… they were disappointments from the get go, so no one really paid much attention to them).

You dont see Ford dropping a V8 into a Contour and calling it a Fairlane

or Dodge dropping a V8 in a Avenger and calling it a Charger…

Sorry man, but RWD Coupe, which resembles the Grand Prix, will always be a GTO. Not insulting you, but you need to learn your cars

:rofl:

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.
