The LS is a good engine, OD that gets 20+ MPG at 75+mph with the AC on, no denying that... BUT these GTOs just look lame, kinda like a grand prix or monte carlo, theres just no styling or any "retro" look that other makes & models of modern muscle cars have. Pontiac could have used a different platform or even a fresh designed car to "bring back" the GTO in the mid 2000s.
Im sure they drive nice & any modern LS or hemi engine has good performance, they just dont have the looks or styling, everytime i see one i get a good chuckle, its a family sedan with an LS in it. No thanks. If/when i buy a LS car it will be a 4th gen WS6 T/A.
