I'm gonna have to totally disagree with you. but it's all good

 

The saturn edition, yuck, what a big POS

 

More like a 99-03 Mercury Cougar, really.

 

yup, let the drooling commence

 

Looks nothing like a Mustang. Fanblade style rims have been around forever, as have spoilers. The front end? No resemblance whatsoever.

 

I see a lot of similarities with the Mustang. That body line that goes all the way back which goes under the front wheel fender. The front wheel fender and rear wheel fender stick out exactly like the mustang and are connected by a strip of panel that sticks out, which is similar to the panel on the mustang. And it has a very fastback-ish look.

We're not alone on thinking this way either. MotorTrend said it looked like a Mustang also

 

The hood is too short. Looks Front Wheel Drive, or neutered ....

 

 

I saw Motor Trend call it a "Mustang Fighter" but didn't see where they said it resembled one. Got a link?

The fenders resemble something more of an RX-8 than a Mustang. Flared fenders are not a new concept. Roofline is nothing new. The remainder of supposed similarities are not unique to the Mustang at all.

 

that thing looks like an overweight muscle car wanna be

 

Of course it's nothing unique, but when you put all of those things together, It's gonna looks similar to the body of a Mustang

Edit: I swear reading the Motor Trend with the New "Bullitt" Mustang on the cover when I took my Brother to the dentist, and reading that it looked similar to the Mustang... Something along the lines of "if you can't beat'em, join'em" kinda thing. I Just asked my brother and he remembers that article also. Online they seemed to change it.

 

Ain't that the truth! To resurrect a hallowed name like the GTO (which stole from Ferrari, BTW, but that's another story) with the boring thing that now bears its nam, and then to follow up with something like this as its successor makes me wonder what GM is thinking. Obviously, they're not, so the real question is what are they smoking?

 

Motortrend and their staff arent too intelligent when it comes to cars, but i will say even if they think it looks like a mustang, it really doesnt. in reality it is a pontiac recreation of the nissan sentra. and if they changed the article, why dont u scan us the one u read? :scratch:

 

Because it's at the Dentist's office :P

 

That is supposed to look different, the only difference I see is more

 

Autoweek.com More about the redesign, meh

 

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, what are they thinking?!?!?! the current one is a 10000 times better. talk about sales Dumping off

 

It was in the Bullitt v. Charger issue of Motor Trend, but it was a letter from a reader, not the magazine. Reproduced for your reading pleasure:

pg 34
CARBON COPY
"The 2008 Pontiac GTO is just a redesigned Mustang ("Trends"). The character lines on the side are reverse of the Mustang's. Take out the center pillar, put in more glass. Wrap the taillights around the quarter, and add a different spoiler. And the same for the nose of the car. If you can't beat the best, you might as well copy it."


[and this is my 500th post, if I wasn't cool I'd be a Mach 1 ]

 

That autoweek picture looks like a bad photoshop.

I am curious as to if GM can make something worthy of the GTO name. While the driveline and interior are impressive, I personally don't like the looks of the exterior.

 

Anyone else see a similarity between the autoweek car and this??


First saleen and now this....
