I think the objection is to, "cut & paste" engineering, that is, if this is even legit
From my understanding , thats all the GTO will be ....until the US gets its own version on Zeta . Why invest a ton of money in a "fill in" car .

I still can't believe how much flack this awesome car gets

It gets that because it IS a "fill in" car. That's just the way it will be until it's built here. I'm still glad the car is here even if I'm not crazy for it. NOW, on to the looks:

Recessed grill is a necessity. The dual side tips are cool but I'm not sure about the wierd black section that they're in. The bumpers could still use better styling, especially the front. The scoops are cool and definetly help out the appeal of this car and it's personality. For the people now complaining, it's a Pontiac musclecar, not a BMW and never will be. Two different markets and buyers even though the average buyer isn't as young as the average F-Body buyer.

Notice the C6-inspired surround for the exhaust.

Once again its a GTP instead of a GP now Not a big deal in style changes...it needs to stand out more...like look at the trans am...there was nothing in pontiacs lineup that looked like it, but wit the gto you have the gp, the gtp, gtp compg, and all that. Not very distinctive...just dual exhaust which gp's have ne way, and a gtp hood. The nose is slightly better but the headlights need to be redesigned...if charger comes out in 05 its gunna blow it away. 05 stang too...gto is loseing ground fast
