Some guys were talking over in Classical Pontiac about the retro Camaro that is being toyed at GM, they all agreed that it looked awesome. And they also all agreed that GM would never produced something everyone liked.

I agree with both.

Your right now would be good but realistically no.My reasoning is because with the new restro style of the new mustang,the new mustang looks like the 1965 mustang fastback as far as style is concerned so it took 40yrs for the mustang to look light the old style.The GTO came out as a 1964 year model and lastest to 1974.Then in 2004 40yrs since the first GTO's hit the streets the GTO is out again NO RESTO STYLE at all so I'm guessing 3-5yrs before pontiac gos to the old style again.

Last night they rebroadcast "The Last Ride" on NBC and they had a commercial for the '05. I'm not happy with the new GTO as far as retro styling goes - since there IS none, but I have to admit that steps are being taken in the right direction.
The hood scoops are totally brazen and well-designed, the split rear exhausts and bigger rear spoiler are great as well.

The 400HP engine is nothing to sneeze at, while 4 ft & rr bucket seats look fantastic!

If the trend continues we may see a pretty nice-looking GTO by '07!

I'm glad that Pontiac came out with the GTO again it looks like a Grand Am or Grand Prix.The style needs to change soon because I dont think the sales will be very high.I've soon the 05 GTO I think its just a dressed up 04 with more HP.
