The first pic looks like every other ricer on the road.
The second pic looks much better, but resembles a new Honda Accord.
 With that motor and trans and a different name. What could have been...

I was referring to the rumor that someone in Australia spotted a new GTO that actually has seperated duals on both sides. hasn't been confirmed yet and now they are speculating it was the new AWD Monaro...

power and suspension are good but looks matter too. maybe i can buy a big paper bag so i can make the car a brown bag special. something like the enterprise rental car commercials. ive always said beauty is just a light switch away.
just because im 21 that dont mean i have to like imports

you guys who think it looks cavalier, are messed up.
from the guy that took those pics-
"i had doubts about the car aswell, i even owned a 1999 2 door cavalier, and NO it dont look like one.....
and after seeing one in person, and finding out the power and suspension setup on them, i would own one in a heartbeat."

That rear spoiler is just lame. They should've left the Monaro's rear spoiler on it. It's much lower/form fitting and doesn't look so "add-on"ish.
The same w/ the wheels. I really liked the 5 spoke (almost Rally II) wheels that the Monaro has.
I would really like to see an 65-67 hood scoop, although it needs to be much larger. I think that would fill the hood nicely.
Ya know, I think I'll start another topic.

Yeah that's that ST4 one right? The turbo charged one? Or is it the new full sized Honda?

Boy those guys over at LS1GTO don't waste time ripping on a supporter. Pretty funny as the rumor was listed right below the post where they are ripping on me. Have to go straighten them out...

With that "wing" it looks like a Mazda MX-6.

There are supposed to be 2 pipes coming out the left side of the car. The 1st pic is too blurred to tell.

correct it doesn't look like a classic GTO, just like it doesn't look like a classic Grand Prix or Boneville.
It looks like the newer grand prixs and boneville just like it should..
let me know when you understand that concept.
