 Just bored at work. One thing about GM cars. They often times look like poorly thought out designs in OEM form. But they sometimes make some awesome customs.... not this GTO I did however  But I bet they'll be some interesting body add ons and customs done to GTO's.

the RSX is the new Integra, and of course its gonna have updated/new parts....a.k.a. 6th generation corvette, or are you gonna say that cuz it has a different chassis, suspension, and engine, its not even near the same car...ok.
i also dont see anything wrong with the GTO, except for the fact that every car company trys to make every car affordable to the public, but if u want a better car u gotta up the price range, it just happens that the next sports car price range is about 10 grand more. Plus if i were in the market for a GTO(and right now i have a contour if that says anything) the car i would be decideing against would prolly be like a G35, 350Z, and the SRT-6 Crossfire is 50 large. Compare what you would get with any of these cars, 400 HP, rear-wheel drive, fully independent suspension, the most comfortable seats, did i mention a 6 liter V8
96 contour Sport

If the GTO was legal in Canada, I'd have bought one and drive a 1000 corolla as a daily driver.

I looked into getting an '04 when I was shopping for cars several weeks ago and it had too many little niggles to considering droping the money on one, as my only car anyway. If I had the cash (and the room) to have one as a second car, that is another story.
My issues:
-No sunroof, doesn't have to be standard, but not even one as an option?
-No HID's
-No heated seats (IMO if you have leather in any place cold you need heated seats)
-Small trunk with no passthrough
The LS1 (or LS6) is a great motor, but it just wasn't enough to seal the deal) FWIW, I like(d) the styling.

If you have to use your spare, your regular wheel doesn't fit in the trunk!
Great car, awesome exhaust note, tons of power, and damn i even think they look good... what's not to love?
Only problem is... I see it as the perfect 3rd car... not good enough for a daily driver, and when I think of a second car, I'd probably be looking for a convertible, or possibly something smaller and sportier, not so much of a "muscle car"
But when i'm rich enough...
