Well, that, ironically, is a lot of my reasoning for applying it to the Monte Carlo...

I guess we'll see this in Detroit in Jan given the timing? I'm sure AW probably got the wink wink ok to publish it with the provisos. Based on AW's proviso, I appears that the MT one looks to be "closer" for overall proportions.

Rear-quad doors on the GTO and possibly large Chevy coupe (Monte Carlo?)sounds good to me. I seem to recall Bentley (or some other luxury make) having designed some that look a little more seamless and integrated than the RX8. That design at a Chevy price point might be the ticket for me in a couple of years ... a little bit more family friendly sports car, but give me a 6 speed please

While I do think that looks better than the current one, I can't help but for some reason think "Mitsubishi" when I see the front end on that.

After the half-baked '04 re-introduction, I hope they don't top themselves with a "four door coupe" reinterpretation.

Why turn one of your most legendary nameplates into an experiment? GTO is a low volume halo car for your performance brand. Why does it have to be compromised to appeal to buyers who might have otherwise bought a sedan? Save half-size suicide doors and other gimmicks for the G6 and build a real 4-door rwd sedan that performance-minded buyers might consider. Don't fix what isn't broken with the GTO.

Excellent points, and that would push me even further to saying Monte Carlo would be a better place for a bigger sized quad-coupe idea....

A slight tweaking.

I hope to God it looks nothing like that. It looks like a 05 Mustang, that horrible looking GTO concept, and the current GTO crashed into each other and somehow molded into that photoshopped picture

See if you can put some 50-cal guns in the headlight area and a missle launcher on the roof.

Is this car going to be stuck with the 18,000 units per year, fully loaded with no options mentality that sort of plagues the current car? I hope not...the GTO deserves better.

Thats the ugliest Mitsubishi I've ever seen.

its a photochop... although here's a quote from the actual article

So there you have it..

I like both the rendition, and the idea of having the little doorlets for my two tykes. I hope the car does not have three rear seats.

Exactly what I was thinking. That car is WAY too busy.

I like the front end, othere than the part in the middle of the grille. But, the rest is so Blah. It's like the entusiast post that said, "I am a car guy because I can spot a GTO in traffic."

That new front grille looks a wee bit like the concept grille from some years ago.

Why oh why, couldn't that car have been built?

I'm going to have to go ahead and say the real car probably looks a heck of a lot better than that. Like someone else said, it's a simple photoshop of an old school-themed GTO front grafted onto the 2005 Monaro/GTO. Just look at the general theme when judging the concept, don't take the entire car at face value.
