Given the price of gas these days a torquin' 6 would probably go over quite well. If GM wants to save the GTO then a retro styled Goat with 2 engine options would appeal to the money conscience performance minded consumer. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Besides the fact that the price of gas has dropped by $.25 per gallon recently, the '04 GTO gets 29 MPG on the highway with the V8. Which is even better than the 6 cylinder Mustang gets, BTW...
People buying GTO's don't want a 6 cylinder. They like the performance, sound, and driveability of that V8.
They aren't like the Mustang buyer that wants a cheap economy car. Of course, Mustang buyers aren't knowledgeable enough to realize that the GTO is more economical to actually drive in the first place...
Two engine options - not needed for a GTO buyer. But for you, we'll let you pretend the V6 Sunfire is a GTO so you can get a V6. It probably has more power than you can handle anyway...
