A little disappointing to me. Personally i'd love to pick up a 02' SS or WS6 anyday over that.

[kittedb18bt]

yucky, but it does have the LS2...

[youngvr4]

not bad, not bad at all, a monsterous machine with a quite nicer body then the base. i like it

[YogsVR4]

I think the styling is still a bit understated.

Damn, that's really nice. So are they still gonna offer a base model w/ the LS1?

[96TSi]

looks like a grand am with a facelift... nice engine though. 389ci would be a 6 liter?

[RedLightning]

well in 05 the base model has an ls2, i have a thread about it in the pontiac section, or check out newagegto.com im gessing the judge is coming out in 06.

So they're re-designing the GTO in 2006, after only two years on the market?

[DeViL]

Its not a redesign, thats basically a Holden Manaro with a different body kit. Interior is still the same but orange and black to of course match the Judge.

You know that Chevy SSR, the retro-style truck, is also getting the LS2 in 2005?

[RedLightning]

yea which is nice b/c gm is not being stupid and only giving the new corvette the ls2.

Maybe you havnt heard of a lot of the complaints expectant buyers gave GM. They were expecting a new age mean looking muscle type. Instead they got the refined look.

Actually the GTO was given a refined look for a reason. This isnt the 16yr old's sports car. This is the CEO of a major company's daily driving sports car. However with the new face lift for the judge (Which in my opinion mixes race type and refined), it seems that GM is pleasing both worlds. If I had the money, I would change my sig to read one of those.

The Pontiac dealerships aren't exactly helping this car thrive by jacking its $32,000 price to $38,000 for absolutely no reason. I've seen this at a couple dealerships where I live and they don't even list why the price has been upped.

[kman10587]

The GTO is essentially a bigger, more luxurious Trans Am...I can't imagine it costing more than $10,000 over a Trans Am, $32,000 is high enough :/

A GTO is a Holden Monaro
The thing about the monaro is i dont think they want to redesign it bcoz it would have to look like a VY commodore and their fucking ugly.And their designed in australia, all the yanks do is make look reasonable.
