I can't say I like it much, don't hate it either... and for some reason I get a Lincoln-ish retro-vibe off it more than a GTO, but I do like that people keep trying for a modern retro GTO & TA. I certainly haven't liked any that I've seen so far, but as long as people are trying someone might eventually make something that I actually like.

Not a good thing.

Looks like somebody tried to graft '65 or '66 Pontiac headlights to something that looks like a new challenger or a new camaro. When I say try, I mean it because they didn't succeed.

John DeLorean would roll around in his grave if he got a vision of this somehow

That is exactly what I thought- it looks like a late '60s Mark III
