<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> why drive something that the front end looks more like a VW bug then a muscle car? or that looks like a cavalier,GTP,neon,any other car on the road. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Once again.........

The new GTO is a RWD, V-8, manual transmission comfortable car with room for 4 adults. Oh, and it also handles and accelerates well..... There is not one other car available today that meets this criteria, which, BTW, describes an old GTO as well (except for the handling part ), unless you spend quite a bit more money.

My Formula looked "good" by most accounts. It was not half the car the new GTO is. Should I sell the GTO and buy another 'bird because it looks better? Why drive a car that looks good, but doesn't have all of the other, more important features.

What do you drive as a daily driver? If you tell me it's your '69, then I will understand your myopic view on the subject, since you obviously don't go very far on a daily basis, and looks win over practicality and reliability.
