Monaro is a great car. Pontiac GTO, LEGEND. The new Gto has great power, but is way two expensive for a car that looks like a Trans Am. I hope changes are made. It looks like a import car. If changes aren't going to be made on the style of the round lookin "sentra", if the deal already has been made.......then pontiac just lost a customer.

P.s. They should make the alloy wheels 18 inch.

I have now had my GTO for 3 weeks and am very pleased, with the exception of 2 items.

1. No trunk to speak of. When they moved the fuel tank above the diff to comply with rear-end collision safety, they lost most of the trunk space.

2. You cannot have the windows cracked if it is raining. Airflow causes water to come in to the back of the window.

Good points:
1. Faster than my other 2 goats in stock trim (a 67 and a 73)

2. I averaged 28 MPG on my last trip to ChiTown from Mpls. (at 73 MPH average)

3. Great throaty sound.

There are many other points that I could cover, but so far, I am pleased with the power and torque that it produces. It revs freely to 6000 rpm, and the gas mileage actually got better the faster I went on the highway (due to the tall gearing).

I can say, that it was well worth the wait!
With today's fuel prices, the mileage is a plus, while still having all the "play power" that I need.

I get pulled over by Johnny Law a lot! Not for violations, but they just want to check the car out.

Perfect car for a mid-life crisis (I'm 46).
