Let's not forget the humble roots of the original Pontiac GTO. All it was was a Tempest with a big engine shoved in basically. When it came out people didn't find it's look very exciting. It looked like many other mid 60's cars. We look back on it now and think yeah it looked badass, but that is with hindsight. You can't compare what you see now with what you see in hindsight. Plus, i remember everyone here drolling like a mad dog over the Holden Manaro, I don't think they changed the design all that much. I have seen preproduction models and the Holden in person where I work, up for some testing, and they look pretty nice. Besides, if I'm gonna have a car that has some serious balls, I want one that will blend in a little, bring a little less undesireable attention from the boys in blue. If i wanted attention, I'd go a for an arrest me red vette or something.
