I noticed in the new Sept. issue that Zazzarine is stating that the new GTO is a flop in the markets. Real Pontiac enthusiats could have told GM that they would be. I drive by a Ford and a Pontiac dealership every day on the way to work. A few months ago, both dealers had their premier high performance models on the showroom floor. Ford had a yellow/black Mach I and the Pontiac dealer had a red GTO. I stopped and looked at the Mach I. The next day the Mach I was sold. The GTO was finally removed from the show room and it sat on the outside lot for 2 months gathering dust before it sold.

I wonder if Zazzarine had a in to figure out that Pontiac need to sell out of GTO's in 7 whole months?
Yea, it's struggling to sell. All the reasons have been posted before. I won't rehash them here.

I kind of recall an article from Zazzarine praising the 04 GTO early on.

He did. Zazz is just repeating what we all know and then Randy spins it to a hater post. Looking at the original numbers it is a sales flop but who cares, the car is still awesome and the 05 will be even better. By the 06/07 the haters will have fizzled, my prediction.

It does require a ladder and an electric trimmer. I like yard work, so its no big deal.
