Thumbs up GTO approval poll/age survey

Just out of curiosity, lets vote on the new GTO and break it down by age, to see how it works out. Vote on the sketch car only, no hypothetical future fantasy versions.

Me, thumbs up .......and I'm 31

I really like it, but I'll keep my Z though. Plus an aftermarket is important to me and I don't think they'll be one. I'm 22 (I'll be 23 in a couple of weeks).

I am 30. I like it. But I think it is really unoriginal being that it looks EXACTLY like a Grand Prix.

I may consider it when it comes out because of the total lack of affordable RWD V8 cars out there... but I was hoping for something that wasn't a close of an existing car in their lineup...

I like it. I think others will like the looks when it hits the streets. Don't like the price, though.

I'm glad they didn't tack on ribs, strakes, stripes, spoilers, buldges and other trashy design elements.

I'm 26, BTW.

Don't like it. I do not feel that is styled aggressively enough to carry the GTO name. By aggressive I DO NOT mean scoops and wings. The car must exude a certain subtle muscularity without looking like every other car on the road. It's certainly not ugly, in fact I'd like it fine if it was the new Grand Prix or Grand Am.

I'm 30.

Looks fine, nice and safe in its styling, I was just hoping for something more than a GP clone. I'm 24.

29 yrs. old and I like it a lot.

Understated and in keeping with Pontiac's design direction. A Judge/RamAir variant would be nice.

Remember, this design is really not finalized and I want to see what the rear looks like.

I don't care if it's not as fast as a Cobra, even a regular Grand Prix GTP looks better than that boosted Fairmont, inside and out, and you'll still smoke GT's and Mach-1's.

Obviously its no F-body, but it is tastefully clean and I like it. I think it will look great in person.
