Since the Camaro enthusiasts posted what they would love the next Camaro to look like...well.....now the time has come for GTO Enthusiasts to post what they'd like the GTO to look like.

So.....now would be the time to let your voices heard, chops posted, indeas presented about the next Pontiac GTO.

 

non retro 2dr,RWD,V8, with a manual tranny.

 

Any styling cues? Any era you'd like to see "moderinzed" anything you'd like to see brought back that was not with this last GTO?

 

Less 'round' cues and corners, more sharp lines. If that makes any sense... lol

It should also steer from whatever the pontiac front end will be in its time.

 

josh what i'd like to see is what he said in the first sentence. i want a crisp modern coupe and i'll disagree with him on the front end as i want it to look like a pontiac. a 2dr VE monaroisd GTO would be perfect.

 

What if Pontiac gets a good front end?

 

To be true to GTO it needs to heavily favor them.

I was sorta thinking of dodging the 'it looks like a Grand Prix, G6, whatever'

FWIW, those comments never bothered me personally other than just getting tired of hearing it from the import crowd, AKA, the sheep.

 

I heard it more from domestic guys who were expecting a T/A.

 

.. which, in a way, is ironic since the Firebird is a re-fried Camaro.

[runs for cover]

Seriously though... could the car not sell just as well without adapting Pontiac traits?

 

why does it have to look different? all GTOs so far have had pontiac traits so why change?

 

That styling could easily be pulled off on a 5th gen camaro platform.

AAMOF, that styling seems extremely familiar to the styling of the 5th gen...

 

Yes, the proportions are similar.

I understand it was based on the early stillborn Sigma Camaro idea.

 

^ ^ ^ Looks like a Pontiac / GTO to me . Even the old GTO's, I can sometimes mistake for a Firebird at a quick glance, and that rendering could just as easily be a Firebird IMO . But it's got the little features that the old GTO's had (hood mounted tach, hood vents). Don't know if I'd call that retro or not? But I like it!

 

Goddamn...that car looks mean!!!! IF it's anything like that...I'll take mine in black please!!!

 

I would like to see something based on the 1970 - 1972 GTO's. I thought the early 70's GM B (?) bodies (442, GS/X, Chevelle and GTO) were some of the finest looking cars for their day, and they have stood the test of time styling wise QUITE well.

As far as what it should be IMO, a 2 DOOR, hardtop coupe. Also, it should be have that semi-fastback look that the 1970's had. And it needs seating for 5, make it a GT like it has always been, but go back to the 3 across seating in the back, I believe it will make it easier for family men to rationalize the purchase if they can fit a car seat in the back without being a contortionist.
