If Pontiac wants to bring back the GTO and be successful, they need to take a serious look at Frank Bowman�s concept GTO. If Robert Lutz was quoted correctly at the keynote speech at Kettering University and the 2004 GTO will be putting out 405 horse power the only thing needed is to upgrade that four speed auto transmission to a five speed transmission and the Pontiac GTO will not be able to sell quickly enough. If this is done, Pontiac will not only have matched the 2004 Mustang GT in a retro look, but will have also produced five additional hours power. The only other challenge will be to keep it under $40,000 like the Mustang GT. Both the Mustang and Pontiac will be very competitive with the Corvette and since the Corvette runs a cost of up to $70,000 the Pontiac GTO will corner the market and rightly so. It will have a distinctive GTO look and horse power that will put Pontiac back on top as they should be.

That is not a GTO! It's a Honda with a v8! I don't live in the past. I understand that the auto world has moved on, I don't care what country it's made in! But I do care about the "Goat" and the place it holds in history.If you are going to bring back a car like the GTO. It has to be done right. Or not at all. Where's the hoodscope? That screams GTO! Ford did a great job with the new T-bird! Hoodscope and all. Pontiac really needs to rethink this car again for next year. Then maybe I'll buy one. Right now it looks like everything else coming out...A used bar of soap!
