I personally don't get all excited about the GTO, I think they're over-hyped but what did GM do so horribly wrong that went against what people wanted?

When they brought the GTO to the market, both Bob Lutz and I can't remember her name, but some female executive within Pontiac said the GTO would be Pontiac's flagship and stand as an example of the direction in design the brand would take. From my understanding, the Monaro the GTO was based off of was a design going back to 1997. Shouldn't design be new and fresh, not 6 years old? I think that went against what people wanted. Even if it was only intended to be around for 3 years, they could have really nailed the design and said this is sign of things to come at Pontiac.
