Hmmm - I have to admit I like the muscular rear haunches on this version, but the whole thing looks a little "boy racer" (or is that "ricer") to me. I could probably live with it (heck, I've owned 3 Firebirds), but this entire direction (stylistically) seems to contradict with Pontiac's stated intent to compete in the BMW arena. BMW drivers aren't going to like the gee whiz styling, and a younger buyer who might now be intrigued by it doesn't have $30K+ to fork over for it. Come to think of it, wasn't this the same type of marketing that helped kill the Firebird - powerful, look-at-me, look-at-me styling, and a price tage that few folks interested in "look-at-me" styling could afford?

Can't they come up with something a little more original. Although, I dig the motor. Have you seen the new issue of Popular Hot Rodding. That Horton guy did a concept of a new GTO next to a new Charger. Looks good. Better than the orange car. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Actually the ONLY thing that looks good on that GTO concept is the hood. Otherwise it doesn't do a thing for me.
