Calling the GTO an oversized Integra is an insult to Honda.

EDIT: Holy Sh!t! LA is one of America's Safest Cities

OK its settled Im getting the GTO!
From a Civic EX to a Pontiac GTO? Keep in mind, the GTO is just a rebadged Holden Monaro from Australia that GM imported and slapped a new badge onto.

It's not an "American Legend" and it's certainly not a performance machine. It sounds pretty but it's nothing special. If it tells you anything, I've seen them around the Detroit metro area, but ONLY with manufacturer plates - which tells me that NO one is buying them.

I have written to pontiac, wrote articles for ls1gto.com and for ultimatgto.com, and I own a 1970 gto black on black with a 73 455SD and I ordered a 2004 GTO. It is not a performer? What planet are you on man? I havent found a dealer that can keep them in stock. MI and az. I lived in Detroit, then Livonia, now Southern Az. Not to mention the interior. It is the best interior on any production GM vehicle EVER. The whole chassis, suspension, and drivetrain was designed in AMERICA. The sheetmetal was designed in Aussie by holden yes, BUT there have been a few big changes. Read up son. Not to mention since everyone in MI had a employee discount including us the gto comes with the A4 for $28,000 on GMS with deliver charges. Beat that. And btw read up on info from someone who knows, and owns the LEGEND.

They're only selling half as fast as GM was expecting, so if dealers can't keep them in stock, it's because they don't want to because no one is buying them. :) It sounds great but it looks like an oversized Sunfire. The interior is beautiful, I'll give you that much. I definitely wouldn't mind driving one, but even at $28,000 it's more than I'd like to spend on a car right now. :)

Well you really must not know anything about old goats then. in 1964 the lemans was the equivlent for the grand am/prix of today. Slap in a bigger motor with ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER CHANGES THAN BADGING, and you have a gto. Thats why so many people have gto clones, just changing the badges on ther lemans, and adding a 389 RA RAII OR RAIII. The gto was the average sedan+more power. It was never designed to be a sports muscle car. Its EXACTLY how the new gto is. Regular sedan +motor.
