Sounds great. Looks pretty sharp. Except for that spoiler.

Must be nice.

The spoiler could be a bit more modest... Otherwise it is pretty badass car.

Ya'll have it good Down Under!

I'm going to be lone dissenter here.
I'm not crazy about this car. It's not that it's not good looking, it's just that, that design has been done to death.
I see the current Holden Commodore in that car, especially from the lower window line down.
And I see the current Dodge Stratus in the car (the whole greenhouse and the tail).

I would have liked to see something different, and a coupe.

Honestly...where did we go wrong as a country? looking at the offerings of Holden and Ford down under, and I remember that it was the USA that used to have the famous reputation for building these kinds of cars...nowadays, when I'm out driving, all i ever see are gashog SUV's and ricers...I think the new GTO will be a message to GM that there are thousands of people that will buy these cars, and hopefully it'll change their thinking

And yet again the Aussies get all the fun. Yeah I'm sure some people think the wing is "rice"... but it is a RWD V8 sedan!
