Hahaha. Wow, that review and the pictures are hilarious!
Anyway, here's some more pics for Y'all. (911 GT1 -- If I ever have around half a mil to spend on a car, it'll be this one) (Owned?) Lemans racing rocks. Who says the new GTO looks boring?? Especially not when it has a 389 under the hood putting out 575hp. Nigga damn. |

Every single car in my post looks better than that piece of shit Hyundai. Yes, even the smashed BMW 5 series. Come on, how can you even compare the XG350 to a new GTO? That Hyundai looks like a pathetic copy of an early 90's Acura Legend, with some hints of Benz.

Well, the Pontiac GTO:
![]() Didn't get very far from the Grand AM. ![]() ![]() And while I won't defend Hyundai, at least they put some effort into their design: ![]() Yes it looks like a 2003 Acura TL: ![]() And it also bears an uncanny resemblance to a Jaguar S-Type: ![]() (Hyundai) ![]() (Jaguar) So who's doing the better designing now? It appears that the GTO is nothing more than a washed up Grand AM, whereas at least Hyundai has their sights set on more prominant standards. I give it 5 years until Hyundai is just as respected as Pontiac, hell Hyundai is quickly becomming the new Honda. |

Alright, I'll give you one concession: Hyundai is the next big thing in the automotive industry. Honestly they would be a decent investment.
However, calling the GTO a washed up Grand Am just isn't true despite the mild similarities. In case you didn't know, the GTO is actually an Australian car made by a GM company called Holden. Holden is a performance division, except unlike Pontiac their cars actually are sporty. They are all RWD or AWD, and most are equipped with either a twin turbo V6 or a large displacement V8. Either engine would make me quite happy. Anyway, the GTO is nothing more than a rebadged Holden Monaro. The Monaro is a modern day muscle car that was introduced in the 60's and is still around today. In other words, the GTO has NOTHING to do with the Grand Am. It's heritage lies in an Australian muscle car. So, even if you do think the GTO and Grand Am look similar, it really doesn't matter. What does matter is the 5.7 (or 6.1) liter V8, mated to a 6spd gear box, powering the rear wheels. To me those ingredients sound like a true muscle/performance car. Maybe that's just me though. Hell, the engine alone is enough to sell me. The LS1 is easily one of the best V8's in the world. For a relatively small amount of money you can extract huge performance from it. |

Here are few of the GTO's real brethern. I think all of them look pretty damn good. Agressive, yet understated, sort of like BMW's M division.
