Biggest dissapointments of 2005

1. 05 GTO
2. 05 Corvette
3. 05 Mustang

2005 is goign to be a loooonng year...worst car designs since 1972!

Where shall we start?

"2005 GTO" Ugly and Pointless....should of kept the Manaro in Australia where it belongs...GTO worthy? No...Not at all...who ever ok'd that project needs to be fired.


"2005 Corvette" For some reason this car hasn't had a decent design in 20 years...C5 Vette closest thing to beauty. C6 Corvette...a complaintion between Ferrari, Honda, And oldsmobile= Horrible. New C6 says..."I'm everything else but a corvette."So why put those emblems on me?

"2005 Mustang" You saw the concept...you fell in love with it...you anticipated the day you could buy one...now behold the redisign version that looks like nothing you've ever wanted....still want to buy it? We changed everything about the car...but it still says GT.....great "rolleyes:

Worse design of the year award goes to.........

GM for the C6 Vette and GTO Manaro POS!

did you miss the malibu?

that is a milestone set for making fugly cars.

on the other hand i disagree about the GTO, its grown on big time since I got to take an up close and personal look at one. I might add the only color id ever buy one in is the blue. That is the nicest blue i have ever seen.

I thought you were going to say that your ***** pump didnt help you reach that first 1 inch stiffy!!!! Maybe 1 more year of use and you'll be there.

Why complain just go buy a FWD RSX for the same money as the 05 GT.

Geez same ol' 5th gen discussion....same ol' hippies...You guys hate anyone that dissagrees with what GM puts out...You'd guys would praise a Scion if GM made it. Gm has a poor design team nad they rarely get the crs right...they always seem to miss putting out the product that the customer actually wants...that's the reason why they can't sale these automobiles. There's either too much...or not enough of something...+ por build quality...GM has the worst build quaility I've ever seen...pick an F-body...show me one that doesn't have an issue.

If the GTO did not exist you would bitch GM had no performance car. I like the GTO, have you sat in it or looked at it with an open mind?

"2005 Corvette" For some reason this car hasn't had a decent design in 20 years...C5 Vette closest thing to beauty. C6 Corvette...a complaintion between Ferrari, Honda, And oldsmobile= Horrible. New C6 says..."I'm everything else but a corvette."So why put those emblems on me?
Hasn't had a decent design in 20 years? LOL

Let me guess, you are stuck in the 60's and think those are the only cars that are worth while.

No offense here buddy, but you're on a CAMAROZ28.COM message board! Most people here are GM fans and regardless of what people like you think, products coming out now and in the near future are some of the best put together and performing products GM has put out in a long time. The new GTO and Vette will walk away from any previous Goats and Vettes ever built, and with better gas mileage and reliability.

Sorry guys, but the recent GM hatefest by some people is really getting on my nerves

Was it really necessary to post this lame-brain thread in the Lounge and the 5th Gen/Future forum?

Oh yeah, have you even sat in one of these vehicles (let alone actually driven them)? I've driven the a 2004 GTO, and I've driven the C6. You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but many people who have seen the GTO say it looks quite nice in person, and almost every review I've read of the C6 has been positive. If you haven't driven either car, or even seen one in person/ sat in one, then I'm not going to put much weight behind your disappointment. What would have made them not be a disappointment to you? The GTO is most definitely worthy, and the C6 is just awesome. The Mustang went retro (which I think looks cool, but I think it will get old too quickly). I think it looks VERY much like a late '60s/early 70's Stang. This thread = :blah: and

Speaking of RSX... That is the biggest POS made by Honda ever.

Not only does type-S cost same as GT/Z28, its interior is really tacky. Did you notice cheap plastic chrome/silver speedometers? Did you see a freaking huge silver dome at the center of the speedo, to which the needle is attached?

Fugly. The plastic screams for ages 2 - 4.

Heck, it is so much taller than Integra, it's practically a mini-van!

Ever noticed anything nice by Honda?

Let's see. Acura NSX. Biggest overpriced POS. Looks fugly. Even lowly SS will run it over many times.

TSX - the car is so lame, it gets 16-second quarter mile with its 200 HP. GM , with Malibu, does much better than that. And it's supposed to be a sporty car? Sporty car my ****. Not to mention its manual transmission gets worse milage than automatic .

And don't get me started on the Accord. That car will take home the prize of fugliest car ever! It looks like its **** is grinning.

Odyssey - what kind of minivan is that? It's built on the same fugly platform as Accord.

Civic - Heatmaker's kind of transportation. Their "souped up" SI Civic gets a whopping 127 HP with VTAK!!! Oh yeah!!! Fear me, Accents!

Whereis Honda's design team of early 90's? Wait. Those were fugly too!
