i'm curious what the final design will look like myself. I own a 1970 GTO and would love to see the return of the GOAT, but I am a bit apprehensive about this Holden being the platform. Hope they don't ruin the car by trying to push somehing out just to p/u the lost Camero/ Firebird buyers. At least its going to be RWD w/ a v8; good start. Just my .02

Yeah, its a start. What would be cool would be 3 two barrels sitting on top and Ram Air.
Goats are cool !!

Just read today that the GTO will be here in 2004 with the LS3 engine from the Corvette as the powerplant. MotorTrend Magazine

The GTO's were before my time, but not by much. I always thought that the 69 were an awesome design...

I'm a *BIG* Pontiac fan (have owned many Trans Ams.. and still own a super-low-mileage 1979 T/A with the last of the T/A-6.6 (W72) Pontiac 400s mated to a good old-fashioned Hurst-shifted Borg Warner Super T-10 four-speed).
My only hope is that they make it look like a GTO... and not like a pumped up Chevy Cavalier (which is what the Holden looks like!)
Throw dual Ram Air hood scoops on it and a hood tach... give it the classic Ponitac split grill and offer it in eye-popping Carousel Red (the classic orange that the Judges came in) and they might have a winner.
Here's to hopin' Pontiac gets it right this time (and that they've taken the people who designed the Aztec out to the wood shed and gave them a sound whoopin'!) :-)
