<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> i dont find comparing a 04 GTO to "like the 64" answers my question of what on the 04 gto is found in only pontiacs? other then the badges. its not the engine,frame,or any other major mechnical components.

ill still wait for your answer.

The fuel rail covers. The seats.

What is your point? The same argument again. Does Pontiac still make cars? A '69 GTO might work as a driver for some, but not most people. Only an idiot would leave a nice vintage GTO unattended for any amount of time or put tons of miles driving to and from work in one. Would you have preferred that the Pontiac marque dissapear with the 265 and 301?

Go and find a car with the same features as the new GTO. You'll have to get into a BMW to get a similar, overall car, but pay more than twice as much for it.

The new GTO is more of an individual than ANY of the original ones, since back in the day, you could go buy 4 almost identical versions of the GTO (Chevelle, 442 and GS) with slightly different drivtrains and trim, not to mention the Tempests, Cutlasses, Skylarks etc, making a GTO look very close to a lot of other cars on the road.

What car, can you go buy right now, that shares anything with the new GTO (other than a Corvette)?
