Note in this article that the 2004 version sold out!

If GM had planned to sell 6000 GTOs, it would have been declared a success instead of a failure. Regardless of how many they end up selling this calendar year, it's a safe bet that a high percentage of the sales were to people who would not have bought any other GM product.

Looks like a lot of unnecessary body cladding going on....kind of tacky.

 

For some odd reason hearing that from an American had me Then WS6 came to mind........

BTW, you have no idea what kind of bargin you get with the GTO. Same drivetrain and slightly different interior and bodykit = US$72,000

 

What body cladding????

all I see is ground effect side skirt.

 

Yah thats all I see, its got the same amount of cladding as the GTO w/ apperance package.

 

I think that car looks great. The kit and larger wheels gives it a lower, more aggressive look IMO.

 

Where is the body cladding on a WS.6 Trans Am?

 

As a Brit, it doesn't surprise me that it sold out right away. Yeah people here rip on the GTO for it's grand-am styling, but it's not a bad looking car IMO; by UK styling standards for an "affordable" performance car, it's positively aggressive. Esp. compared to all the crappy 4 banger, 1.8L, FWD econoboxes that tend to pass for 'performance' cars over there (with petrol at alomst $5 a galon, kind of understandable, bad depressing).

 

Echo that. All I see on mine is the scuff strip and the rocker panel extensions. Hardly what I'd call cladding.

 

yeah...but you know what? You know how much the VX-R Monaro costs in American dollars?
$65K....and it has the same engine that our GTO does. Yet, here its overpriced, and whatever else you wana put in here.

 

You know what the smart move by GM was? Calling it Vauxhall Monaro. Seems they learned from GTO.

I don't know how anyone can complain about the price of $25 - $30K GTO.
