Default RE: Mustang Fans Getting Scared


ORIGINAL: awsure

In reply to Chubbs: No offense to you but I think that Pontiac will be kicking themselves for the look of this GTO in a couple years when they see how well the Challenger sells (&the Mustang for that matter). They could have designed something more retro (as DCX and Ford did) and come away with a real solid machine. I cannot see anyone looking at today's GTO in 30 years and getting excited about it. I think that this new Challenger (if it stays close to the concept version) will be something that people look back on and smile broadly. It's too bad that Pontiac missed an opportunity to do a classic muscle car right...I am sure it is comfortable and has some power but just look at it...what a shame.
I agree. The GTO maybe fast, no dispute about that, but the styling has been warmed over one too many times. It looks too much like a Grand Prix, which copied off of the Grand Am before it. They should have gone retro. Looks sell vehicles more than actual performance.
