I'm not missing the point, the GTO was really rebadged car with power.

We'll agree to disagree but IMO they continued the name of the GTO just fine...liking the looks is purely subjective.

I still ask again though, what should they have done for a car that was only going to go 3yrs?
oops mis-read the first part....sorry

They should never have called it a GTO. Why not just use the Monaro name or come up with something or reuse the Ventura label? They used the GTO name in an attempt to artificially infuse excitement into an otherwise average looking car and it failed. The car didn't come close to their sales projections of 18,000 per year. Might have been a good car, but not a good GTO.

We agree to disagree.....
