Unless GM starts with a clean slate there will be no GTO in 07 or thereafter for that matter. At best it will be an option to another model. The current format may be indeed what the GTO would have evolved to ( except for the Rosanne Barr inspired hind quarters! ) had it stayed in production from '74, but clearly shortcuts were taken to get this car to production early.Beavis and Lutzhead sealed the GTOs fate by melding a pudgey import with a GTO name plate. Having a Mitsubishi inspired 4 door 2008 isn't going to help matters any either.

With what seems to be selling best these days, I doubt that it's possible that a GTO with broad appeal will ever be produced. Some of the best selling (currently at least) vehicles are some that I have no interest in whatsoever. They may boast impressive performance stats but the sheetmetal is stamped the wrong way for me. There will definitely be another iteration of the GTO. Who will follow it is anybody's guess. I say let's just see what it amounts to, and if we like it, show the money. If not, there are other choices. My only real hope is that it doesn't become a "trendy, fad" car.
