First the bad. Look at the close-up pic of the gauge cluster. There's a speedo, tach, fuel level, and temp gauge. Where in the hell are the oil pressure and voltmeter gauges?
This is a performance car and therefore should have a full compliment of gauges. Get on this immediately Pontiac!!

That's what I think. I'm surprised that so many people like the car's looks. Perhaps it's because those pictures are designed to make it look good.

I love it, I can't wait until this thing hits the streets, and I hope it will be a bonfide sucess!!! I wish I could afford to buy one, but that won't be for a while since I am an 18 year old young whippersnapper 
Oh well, hopefully used GTO prices will be kind to me

I'm still kind of shocked that they are finally bringing the Monaro here. I remember reading about it 6 or so years ago in Motor Trend and thinking the same thing they were, "Why don't they bring it here?"
Now they have.
I don't really think of it as a GTO. For some reason I'll always think of it as Holden, or Monaro, or that car that GM makes in Australia.
I'm hoping that the biggest ripple effect will be that it motivates GM to step up quality in the rest of their interiors. If this car does only that, it'll be a success to me.

Do you think they'll include anything honoring the 40th anniversary? I didn't notice any badges, etc.
As noted, the "5.7" is on right side of trunk, but what do they have planned for the LS6? Maybe "6.0" will make its way back there.

and I'm sure with time, each brand will build distinction and nobody will confuse the two.

If we ever see the HRT427 equivalent on this side of the Pacific, that'll be a nice round "7.0" emblem
Bob Lutz's statement that production car performance has potential to reach "somewhere south of 700HP" is a really encouraging sign, long term anyway.
