It just looks plain tacky. If tacky is exciting to you, there is a wealth of GM autodom floating around out there on the used car scene. A 21st century car should NOT look this way if it's to present a classic, exciting image. The 300 you mention and the 05 Mustang fall into that catagory. The GTO belongs there as well, but not with that styling.
Pontiac has put out some great looking cars over the past 3 year, 98-02 WS6 Trans Am is my favorite.

I didn't know the GXP came out this month. I will definately have to check it out, I wonder if any of the sales people have even heard of a GP GXP by now. I will go find out at lunch and post the results back here. It should be good for a laugh.

As usual ppl on here are as devided as ever! I like the MT one, but I really like the dream cruise one, it looks agressive as hell and mean. I sent it over to one of my new neighbors to get his reaction, he hates the current GTO, and SSR. Can't please everyone!

The GTO is far from square, it anything you should say it is too round, are even talking about the same car? The '04-05 right Pontiac has put out some great looking cars over the past 3 year, 98-02 WS6 Trans Am is my favorite.

Later 2nd Gens outsold 1sts. 
Most years of the 3rd outsold the 2nd and some came extremely close to 1sts. I think some 1st Gens are really nice, but nothing compared to top 3rd Gens. Just look at both overall or next to each other, two very nice and popular designs that'll surely always be thought of that way. Style is mostly opinion, sometimes you can't equate it to sales, and sometimes you can, but it really usually depends on the car as a whole and when it is brought out.
