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? |

1964 Tempest GTO got a big engine, manual trans, HD equipment, and chrome hood accents.
I hate when people say it looks like "another Pontiac" when it always was just another Pontiac. I dont get that saying.

If they knew it was a 3 year run, why not at least offer some sort of unique engine package upgrade or do something to give the car some pop, something....GM tried to cash in quick by diving head first into the parts bin, came up with the GTO and well...now all we have are our opinions and the GTO is on the sidelines (again) with the rest of Pontiac soon to follow....
