Why is that so many of you clammer for the new GTO to be more retro looking?? I thought the essence of the original '64 GTO was all about having a powerful engine in a small body, with outstanding power. But even at that, it wasn't the fastest car on the road, no different then today. Retro doesn't always work - take a look at the Blunderbird for example. And what is retro about the Chrysler 300?? Oh yeah....the grill - THATS IT!!!. And I can definately see the resemblance between the latest Impala and Malibu with those of the late 50s and early-mid 60s. Face the fact - It's 31 years since the last GTO, who's to say what it would look like today if Pontiac had continued manufacturing it. The Mustang started out as a total new car - NOT an option package of an existing car.
The 2004 GTO keeps true to its heritage - a powerful engine in a car that, today, reflects the definition of what the name originates from - Grand Tourisimo Omologoto - Grand Touring Automobile. The 2004 is a grand tourer - fast, comfortable, fine handling, with a fine overall balance.
Welcome Back GTO
