HOLY COW, DOES THIS CAR ROCK! I know, I know...It's not a "true" Pontiac and it looks nothing like a vintage GTO. But I knew all that going in, and I wasn't looking for those things in a car. I was looking for the most performance and modern muscle I could afford. And this is hands down the tightest, most powerful, most fun-to-drive car I've ever personally experienced. My salesman kept warning me to be careful with such horsepower even though he had never driven one (had never even sat in one for that matter). When he asked if I felt comfortable driving it off the showroom floor myself I assured him I knew all about horsepower and torque having a '70 TA...and I darn sure didn't trust him to do it for me. I can't rave enough about this car. Accelleration nails you into the seat, and if you really put your foot into you get a big, tight-skinned perma-grin like only the best amusement park rides can induce. The seats? The motors are a bit slow, but oh man are they ever comfortable...I think I'll sleep in the car tonight. Shifting is smooth and easy like a Honda. Handling, braking and fit & finish are like a BMW. Everywhere I went today, on the road or parked, the car got just as much attention as my old TA. This car is just outstanding all around. I'm glad GM brought this car to the US, and I'm glad I bought one of the 12,000(or fewer) 2005's.
