Not sure I'm liking it. Kinda weird looking up front. But, I also read an article on autoweek when looking for the link that said all RWD future vehicles have been put on hold by GM, including this.

Still cant believe how unbelievably dumb GM is. They could get a good designer to make a sweet looking car but instead cut corners and put out another half hiney effort.

Well it looks like it's happy about something...

Not my cup of tea though.

That's terrible. The current GTO isn't ugly--just boring. This is a horrific mutant.

GM needs to face reality, the modern GTO is going nowhere and they should pull the plug before they lose any more money from it. The Mustang owns this market segment and always will. The thing is hideous imho. :notnice:

That is a photoshop based on someone's educated guess on what it will look like.

I will reserve judgement until I see the real thing... I'll bet they will address the current GTO's bland styling as it got a lot of negative press.

I am going to give it a big thumbs down. Looks like a 20 year old Pontiac 6000 front end! Sweeeeet :bang:

When is GM going to produce a good looking car other than the Corvette? This GTO has gone from bland to bizarre. If you remember the original GTO, you'll recall that it was stunning. No, I'm not talking about a Pontiac. I'm talking about the Ferrari From which they stole the name way back when. And after all these years GM still can't get it right.

Maybe they are trying the retro thing.
