New GTO

Anyone know when Pontiac is gonna make up their minds and put this thing out on the street?

Also, opinions anyone? Like it, or don't like it?
I like it.

How many times have we gone over this?

I don't like it.. It looks like a family car. But that doesn't matter.. It's what it can do.

Sticker for 33k, only one option... the 6speed for 700 bucks..., so 33,000 for a auto, or 33,700 for a stick

Edit: Expect the first 20,000 or so to sell well above sticker price though, same as the first Tbirds and PT cruisers... some of the first Tbirds sold for 12grand over sticker price

I think it mostly had to due with how the car was set up in Aus. The way they had it wouldnt pass safety stuff here in the US, so they had to move the exhaust as quick as possble to get the car out. From what Ive heard it will be exhaust outlets on each side for 05.
