I agree totally, it might probably do better if they would have just imported it as a monaro and not make it the Gelly TO, I've read on a few forums where the pontiac guys wanted the GTO to embrace more of its heratige like the 05 mustang.

I don't know if it was cost(most likely), or a blatant attempt by GM to aviod using any links to the past, but the name GTO does not a car make despite its technical ability to whoop booty. I think they should have delayed the car instead of trying to shotgun some excitment back into the excitement division and engineered a proper GTO off of monaro mechanicals or whatever platform would have been most suitable.
