It's about damn time someone recognized this. I would have liked to have seen a little better styling myself, but come on,, this is a great car! All you so called enthusiasts need to take a look at the performance features of this car, not to mention the Aussie quality both interior, exterior and robust suspension/chassis that far surpasses anything that the so called "american" GM cars contain... Oh darn,, the new GTO doesn't have cheesy body panels that don't match up and where the hell did they put the nerf interior!!??? What's this?? rear seats with leg room and head room?? and what the hell is up with these buckets that are more comfortable than anything GM has ever produced??? The car is good looking,, maybe it isn't a nostalgic rip-off like every mustang produced in the last decade, but it's still handsome. And I'd rather have a somewhat boring look than all those fake assed plastic NON FUNCTIONAL scoops and ground effects hanging all over it.
Furthermore,, rattling on about putting a chevy engine in the Pontiac is a pretty stupid arguement. It's been since the early '80s that Pontiac even produced a V8.
