Saw one on the road yesterday. Looks = Zzzzzzzzzz - had to see the badges to realize it wasn't a Grand Prix. Sound = none - that baby needs an exhaust (dual outlets would sure look nice too). Performance = scalded cat - damned thing just disappeared from the toll booth. If it weren't so damned boring looking and cost $33k+ I'd actually consider it. For the price my butt would land in a BMW 330i.

Yeah, I agree. The exterior is  . The engine is  and interior is nice. Hopefully, they will produce a "Judge" with the hoodscoops, etc. They truly are a sleeper though.

I'd hit it as is, but in a dark color. The interior is dead sexy, except for the shortage of cargo space.

I just went to GM's Auto show in motion here in L.A. and got to drive the GTO twice and the Z-06 and other cars. I have to say that the GTO has a sweet engine note, decent interior ( better then my buddy's 01' SS), and great engine.
It was fun with great handling. Closest thing to compare it to is like having a V-8 RWD CSVT. If it started at about 26K I would give it a long look as a CSVT replacement.
All in all a very nice all around vehicle but a little overpriced.
Oh yeah, the clutches and shifters are sweet they feel like the Z06's. Would kill for the same feel in the CSVT.

back end maybe a little to thick (but it seems to be the style now a days) and cut off 2 soon, like a hatchback sedan fusion, or a corvette
