The GTO didn't exactly go out with a bang, having a Ventura based body in '74 with only a Pontiac 350 available, in my opinion. I wish it would have come back with a bang, though.
I don't like a Ford, but they really did a good job on their '05 Mustang, in my opinion. Looks tough.

it looks like a nice car, but like the impala and malibo, i wish they'd let the names die instead of putting them on as an ad gimmick for a new model... it just seems like a shame to come out with a new car that looks (IMHO) like a honda accord and put a GTO badge on it....

In the finest GM tradition, its also a Cadillac Catera!

Ugly. Disgrace to the legend's name I think.
Looks like s*it IMHO. No such thing as a muscle car any more....

I think they could have done A LOT better in the looks department. Way too plain... side windows are too big... too family car looking.
The Dodge Magnum - now that's one p!ssed off looking wagon. I love it, and I'm all die-hard GM.
Even the Mustang looks INCREDIBLE in '05. I hope they don't start neutering the power or anything stupid like that.

I do think a pair of GTO scoops would be a nice touch.
I think I'll just continue my slow restoration efforts on my '69 instead...
