SAD, After reading the above I agree with some and disagree with others. It is true we are in a GLOBAL economy and I feel GM was looking for a fast means to get a fast buck. Two methods to their greed. 1. From the Yuppies who will run out and buy the Holden because in their minds they are going to own a MUSCLE CAR icon which they couldn't afford earlier in life. 2. They (GM) was (IS) being out sold by Ford and Chrysler both in STYLING and Performance. Pontiac always was the dominate performer in the GM Division. But, Chevy had the corporate pull and so Pontiac was told to back off, IE the 326 (330) Pontiac, Chevy was affrade that hot roders would purchase the 330 in place of the 327. Recently Pontiac pulled out of NASCAR. This tells me that the EXCITEMENT Div. is slowly being phased out like the oldest car in the GM line up, Oldsmobile. In time the only selection you will have from GM will be Cadilac and Chevy. Its all about the Bottom Line, $$$$ YOURS By the way this is a 3 year deal.

Pontiac had a chance to do something exciting for the
40th birthday of the GTO.
So what do they do, make it into another foreign car.
It's not a sign of the times or of a global crap economy,
it's a sign the American automobile industry is shooting
right down the crapper.
It is a true discrace what they have done to the GTO and
on the most important milestone of the AMERICAN GTO.
Global economy my fanny, how many Fords or Chevy's or
MOPAR's do you think the Jap's or anyone else for that
matter in the world drive...very few if any.
American's recently are true fool's giving away the
industry that made us great and a world power.
The export of the American GTO is just another sign
of true ignorence.
