GM has dug the GTO name out of retirement and slapped it on something that looks like a newer Grand-Prix and a 94-98 Mustang had a gimpy love child that's been locked in a basement out of pure shame. That car is pathetic astheticly! Nothing about it is trend setting as it SHOULD be with the name GTO. WTF? The new GTO is but a V8 powered Grand prefixed named Pontiac IMO. Just another quality name from the past GM has raped and exploited for the future of their company!
[Homer Simpson] FOR SHAME PONTIAC/GM ENGINEERS......F-O-R S-H-A-M-E!!!![/Homer Simpson] 
The interior is alright.....I like the gauges and seats
At least they didn't puss out and give it the supercharged 6, or make it FWD! I think making a 340hp RWD coupe is pretty "trend setting" in today's marketplace. Performance wise...It deserves the badge!
