>I can't believe that someone who supposed to love cars would do such a thing to an "American Icon" as the GTO. If I were to introduce a new GTO, I would atleast do it with a vehicle worth the GTO badge. Ford atleast did with their ThunderBird and any other car manufactor would do the same. This sounds like the old Chrysler Division when they brought the Duster back in a Neon Type car! It took years for them to get it right again, but still not as good as GM. I would think about it long and hard.

well look at the bright side, atleast we can have a car with the driving wheels on the right end. be it a true pontiac or not, I still like it more than any front wheel drive car.
