2008 Pontiac GTO

The new firebird is supposed to look like a stretched solstice and not be available with V8.
 
Yeah, and you don't think it was just a stunt to bring it back a few years later and to boost sales?
 
true....it will still be an american POS either way LOL

How f'n hard is it to take the 60s design and modernize it?
That thing is ugly... might be even worse than the current Gran Prix -esque design.
 
The question is WHY do they all have to make the new ones retro looking? I mean what's next?... is chevy going to make the corvette look like stingrays again?
 
Headlights of a Mitsubishi Galant, hood of a new Mustang, fog lights of a Grand Am, I'm happy John DeLorean died before he had to see this
 
i hate new muscle cars. so gay and ugly.

anyone want an srt-8 charger? it comes with a 5spd AT...........i didnt think so (yupnope)
 
its like car designers cant come out with anything orginal now adays
so they now try to remake old classic cars with a few new designs but they usally look like crap mainly the front. they try to slap on the old stye front on to a new body and then slap on the old back

I don't know, I think truly great car designs only come along so often. But if you can't make a brilliant new design, might as well do a brilliant rip off of an old one. Especially even you're going to be selling this to people who know what a GTO is (was). But even most Mini buyers probably don't know anything about the old Mini and they managed to capture the benefits/looks of the old car in new form. The Corvette is about the only good-lookin' car (trucks are OK) American car companies make today-- the Vette is fine. :D No need to look like a Stingray. I like the new Mustang too-- but then again they mined the old Mustang for ideas.
