Plymouth Prowler, and most recently the 2004 GTO..... "The GTO enthusiasts affection... was based not on looks but on driving experience" Bob Lutz Jan 25, 2005.... Gee, I thought a car that looked like it would kick ass IS a part of the driving experience. Could this person be more out of touch with his own consumer base??? Some of the original renderings were down right righteous until he got a hold of them. Lutz is an idiot. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
"The GTO is a HALO car. IE It is meant to bring people into the showroom. The car sold 75% or more of what was orginally expected(MAX SALES)to sell."
>>> Yes it did, after deep, deep, discounting and original production figures have been cut back for the 05. Hey, it's a good car, a worthy musclecar, it's just not being embraced as a GTO by it's manufacturer or enough potential consumers. And as such I doubt we'll see one in 2007. Lutz is an out of touch doddering old beancounter that needs to be put in charge of things he can't screw up like a 4 door Aztec Convertible TurboCharged G23 AWD SUV or something like that.
