Get your facts straight. The GTO is NOT, I repeat NOT a Grand Prix. It has nothing in common with the GP, not one iota! 
It's a totally unique car to the GM line-up built and designed entirely in Australia. A Holden Monaro to be exact; that was uglified by the choads at GM/Pontiac.
This car has plenty of "WOW", If you'd actually driven on, you'd know. It's an awesome car to drive and is very responsive to modifications.
It's brother, the Commodore is a successfully campaigned race car in the Australian Supercar Touring Championship, who's rival is the Ford Falcon (also no relation to ANY US or European Ford).
Settle down big fella you can love the car if you want MY opinion is that I don't. Look at the car, the American version because that's the one we are talking about. What sets it apart? What makes it unique? Sure it may be a kick to drive but for me I have to like the outside before I consider what's inside!
