Pontiac: 2004 GTO Body started off as a 1993 Opel

Take a look at this web site. It shows the 2004 GTO body style has been
around for 10 Years.

Not a fan of the body styling of the new GTO but the rest looks good.

Yep GM definatley cut corners to put together this fraud called a GTO.
Looks like an Opel to me.

Unless they make some drastic design changes next year the GTO will be a
failure, anybody can put a big engine in a car but it takes talent to make a
visual piece of art.

I think it'll sell pretty well, alot of people are complaining about how it
looks, but when you get down to it people are inside and they're gonna
notice the performance and the interior, not the body.

It may look like an Opel, but does it drive like one?

If I could have afforded the extra 10G's I'd have waited for the GTO to come
out and have gotten that...

So what ?

You have a problem with product development ?

Sure, it started out as an Opel design, has just been refined over the
years to suit uniquely Australian conditions and market preferances
here. We like our cars to handle, as well as go. Probably a foreign
concept to you.

By the way, you're about 13 years out, the Opel Commodore design was
taken on by GM-H around 1980, not 1993 as your website link suggests.

IMHO sending the Monaro to the septics is like feeding strawberries to
PIGS.

Maybe if it had hood scoops and lightning decals on the fenders, it'd
get rave reviews from the drooling morons.

But, it doesn't, it just goes around corners like a dream, like none
of your domestic shit ever could.
