Re: the GTO is here!! (hoodwinkvr6)

Niiice Im glad they didnt over do it, I like the clean look, even if its not the newest design. i just wish they didnt have to move the fuel tank to a location where it take up all the trunk space.

Wow, there's a lot of new cars around there.
Aveo, Malibu Maxx in white, a couple SSRs and a Buick Rainier.
Nice GTO, btw

is the new 05 vette engine in their or the current vette engine?
so these were unloaded from a train and parked n that parking lot then will be delivered to the dealers?

Re: (PacerX)

I still can't warm up to the styling of this car.
I would've liked a more bolder styling design. Pontiac grille treatment clutters up a very aggressive and sleek front end. I haven't seen the other wheel options but these are very cheap looking. The side profile is very uninspiring and the rear, while not bad, isn't great either.
Can't argue with the performance though. Oh well, could've come out a lot worse.

5.7=350=LT1=Caprice...
And I love the purple, really goes back to the original GTO. Nothing looks better on a muscle car that a nice deep purple (okay, maybe black but its close.)
Maybe I could take my mom into one seeing as my funds are lacking.

Actually it's a 346 ci LS1 V8 that showed up in the C5 Vette and later in several models of the Camaro and Firebird

Makes sense, for a minute there I thought I was seeing GT.

Eeehh me either.. They took a perfectly good car (from Holden) and completely screwed up the styling imho.. It looks like a cross breed between a Cavalier and a Monte Carlo.. But the engine DOES rock!! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: (Seanathan)

Uhm....How can yo upossibly screw up the styling on a car when all you changed is the front bumper and grille? Explain that to me please....

 

[sonicGLI]

Re: (mtrainVR6)

...the front bumper and grill were about the ONLY thing that made it even slightly appealing (aesthetics-wise). Now it doesn't even have a half-way decent mug http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif

Re: the GTO is here!! (hoodwinkvr6)

yeah, I can't warm up to the styling either. Multicolored body panels do nothing for me. Especially purple and white.
