That at least looks like a GTO to me. I am glad Pontiac brought back the car but the current model just doesn't say GTO to me.
My firsr car was a '67 and I would love to have another someay but the current styling doesn't like up to the nameplate.
Still a great car, just not GOAT worthy.

for the love of god....just dont even bother bringing up the GTO anymore. i can only hear "i dont like the grand am styling" so many times before i just want to kill someone..
that "concept" is the current gto with a '69 front tacked on...the front and back dont match at all...If GM wanted to bring back the 69 gto that is what they would have done, but they made the 2004 gto...yes it could look better but just shut up...all the bitching in the world is not going to change GM (Holden)'s car until maybe it gets redesigned later down the road

That's a very cool concept, but just doesn't look like it belongs in the 21st century. I think Chevy's full size trucks proved you can't just hack a different styling theme onto a vehicle.

Interesting concept, but the front is just too outdated, even though it has some current cues, to make the car look good.
The original GTO was what it was and the new is what it is. People should not keep comparing, or combining, them too much. The only thing they share is the name.
Just like any other current vehicle which has roots in the past. You don't see people pasting Stingray fronts or split windows on the C5's or C6's, do you?

Retro looking concepts like the 1st link will never work because it just doesn't look right.Those hood scoops on the other car would be great on the 5th Gen though, as they look something like the Third Gen Z28/IROC-Z hoods.
