maybe they should leave the GTO badge off with the cars in the US also it might sell better that way. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
First off, which Pontiac produced car, or for that matter GM car, is better than the Monaro right now? Please tell me. The ONLY car in that same class is the CTS/STS.
JJE, you think that the naming the car Monaro or LeMans would make it sell better? Please explain how it would do that since you have a masters in marketing. Please, I am sure we would all love to hear this. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
any gm car that is better then the monaro ? hell take your pick. why name it anything besides the GTO ? im glad you asked ( just like the LS1/LT1 being chevy engine that i replied to and you didnt have any other comments) think back to the first GTO's made. they WERE the first muscle car. they had a real pontiac engine. they looked fast standing still. they were made in america. now look at todays GTO. australlian car,chevy motor,pontiac badge,made in australlia. i could take a sh** and it would look better then this car. its slower then imports. and youre gonna give it a GTO badge? based on what? if you say technology of 40+ years to make it handle better and be more fuel economic or whatever. i hope with 40+ years of technology you can do that. it might be the fastest GTO made but it has a chevy engine in it and the 04 is slower then imports. so how does that make you feel about the fastest production GTO made? if you put a diffrent badge on it then you dont piss off the pontiac guys that think this car is a discrace to the origional. if it was called the pontiac "X" then i would have considered buying one. but not a GTO. and im sure many others would say the same thing. you give it a diffrent badge and it dont have to live up to expectations of what it used to be. that a good enough explination ? youre damn right im good at marketing/sales.
