Short of the hood, that looks alot like what the 2005 GTO is supposed to be.

Revised grille, spoiler, ground effects, pipes on each side.

Good catch!

Add a ram air hood (functional or not) to that car and GM would quell all the bad press about the cars boring style. We all know the performance will back up the looks!

The only thing i really dont like about the GTO is the rear end looks like a Mazda 6...Otherwise its a nice lookin car. I sat in one and the interior was sweet, but there was no dead pedal which kinda bothered me.

It may be faster than my car but I consider 4th Gens to be miles ahead in the looks department.

I find nothing special about the new GTO except the engine.
Even that is not that special - it's been out since 1997 really.......

Not excited here.:blah:

Only the hood needs work. Then we're set.

Yeah, lets throw on some fake hole in the hood to give it the "proper" image it needs.

Real functional scoopes or NONE at all.

Loose the spoiler. Doesn’t look right to me.

I have to agree.

Personally I think the GTO would look much better w/o a spoiler at all. It would help make the rear end less tall and bulky. Giving the a car a smoother cleaner look. I think GM should offer the spoiler an an option.

Why do so many people use 'loose' instead of 'lose'?

I can not count how many times I've seen that on this board. Not to flame

The proper spelling is cannot, not "can not."

Thumbs up

Should have looked like that to start with. Don't care for the "Performance +" name though. I assume that's just for the concept.
