IMO the main problem the GTO had was the Mustang. The S197 had just been unveiled in concept form the year before and the first 05 models showed up in the fall of 04. Retro was huge at the time, and there was nothing retro about the GTO, it was just awful timing IMO. Had it gotten here a year or two earlier I think it would have sold better. As far as performance it was a hell of a car. Still seem to hold their value well too at least around me they do. Only problem I could see with the GN coming back, is I feel like it would essentially be a Buick ATS-V. |

I heard Ford was bringing back the Model T, calling it the Model U and yes, it will look like a FUsion.

They keep trying though. The current SS doesn't seem to be flying off the shelves, although it seems better refined than the GTO ever was. If they do bring back a GN, they'll need to do it correctly. Notice how jellybean like the Camaro is? Oh, wait...

"morons" LOL
The real morons are those the blindly buy a vehicle because of the name stuck on it. If it does not do justice to the honor and tradition of the badge it is only a name. Anyone remember the GTO based on the Pontiac Ventura?

They could have named it XU3Z2 and I would have bought it at that time given those choices.

I liked the GTO and would still consider buying one, the problem I have with earlier GMs is their POS cooling systems and their excuse that it's normal for water pump seepage. |

I'd love to see a new GTO. A real one, not a damn Holden. |

In a lot of ways, I'm glad it never happened because Pontiac died out...which it needed to do. That being said, I've often wondered how well this car would have sold had they re-badged it as a Chevy Camaro...
