damn...they baggged another one.

I tried to buy one yesterday. F'ing dealers and GMCard BS.

I COULD have gotten the car for $23K or so. I could have added all the stuff from the 05 except the engine and I could have just added heads and cam or a supercharger if I wished. But to save almost $10K would have put me in one yesterday.

Hey, at least it has "true duals" and lost the Ja Lo rear end look... http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif

Those pics are with the sport appearance package, standard has 2 large pipes that look a little too ricer to me. I still like them better than the '04 which is also "true duals", they just both dump on the driver's side.

I don't remember this angle being discussed. While it remains to be seen how the 05's will sell, the 04's have been a challenge to unload at best. They may have to scrap the leftovers. Any guesses on resale value in, say 3 years. Even mr_gto may quit talking and come off the dime and trade the cavalier in on one. Even trade maybe?

"I don't care who you talk to, now that's funny!"(Larry The Cable Guy)....such was my primary beef with the 04, grill too, but mainly the bulbous back end.

I hope the folks at Beavis and LutzHead Inc are taking notes from the C6 boys: If you're going to redesign an icon: Hire some serious designers, spend 4 yrs. in the making, don't abandon a loyal customer base and your car just may make it on every major automotive magazine cover and Top 10 since inception of said redesign.

...Or at least learn something from Ford " Best MuscleCar of 2005"..."Fords pony-car renewal has been nothing short of deliberate"...Lets see: The GM Monaro has 100 more hp, better interior appointments and is probably a better car all around. It would appear that it is much more of a "MuscleCar" than the 05 'Stang could ever hope to be, yet the 2005 GTO wasn't even mentioned. In both the dominant automotive press and consumer appeal GM fails yet again. GM: R U listening?? Give us a GTO that looks like a GTO!

I told myself I would be content to pick up a used '04 in a year or two...

Be sure, get the '05 and the styling upgrade... http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...icon_smile.gif

If a little extra plastic means that much to you guys then you need help. I like the standard '05 but there's nothing (outwardly) that a few aftermarket bucks won't do to the '04. In fact, for those of you who said the '04 looked like a grand am (which it didn't), I'm amazed that you so wanted it to really look like a GA.

BTW...I'm not knocking the '05...I'm getting one...but not with the splitter pipes...
