I wish to God GM would ditch that GTO tag for this car, it is not a Pontiac, it is a Holden Monaro, and that's is what it should be called. GM has done the car no favours calling it Pontiac GTO, it is far superior to anything that ever wore that badge. Coming soon (in Oz at least) an AWD Monaro, the prototype featured at the Sydney Motor Show last October, it is done by HSV and is an absolute dream (try 0-100 Kmh in 6.6 seconds, on gravel). As far as the styling is concerned, take the GTO tag away and everyone would love it, but call it a GTO and all anybody in the US wants to know is why it doesn't shout out "LOOK AT ME !!!"
