Hate to tell YOU dude, but I was around before both of them.

Yet you want to stick a non-functional hood scoop on the car? You're voting for Kerry, I assume?
By 'clean lines', I'm thinking of something like a '68-70 Chevelle. That car don't need NUTHIN. You can enhance it's impact with big wheels and dropping the ride height an inch or two, but wings and scoops just get in the way.
The new GTO is the same way. It has very clean, simple lines. The way to change its look is to lower the suspension and maybe change the rake a little, and add the optional 19" Monaro wheels. This isn't an 'in your face' car. It's a second look car - At first look it just looks like another commuter car, but then you take a second look and you notice the lowered stance and the dual exhaust. Then when you HEAR the exhaust, you KNOW this car is something special...
I don't like the changes Pontiac made for the GTO. They basically just stuck a Grand Am front end on it as a way for pontiac executives to 'mark their territory'. Nothing to do with improving the looks, just ego. Interesting example of what's still wrong at GM.
