2008 GTO concept

I dont know why, but to me it looks like the GTO and the dodge caliber had a kid. Looks to be too tall for a sports car.

Doesn't look too bad, but it does have sort of a Dodge-ish look to it. I really like cars with the rectangle quad headlights...that needs to come back. Maybe more of a Pontiac style grill to it as well.

Where'd you find that picture? Looks like a whacked out mustang to me. Very ugly.

I found it on a yahoo image search, it was at automotivenews.com. The article that the pic was with was from august 05, so this is probably an outdated pic and I hope that the new GTO doesnt look like this.

It's a little too out there for me.

oooooooooogly

Looks like it shouldbe the next Mitsubishi Galant or something

I don't like the lines in the back. I just don't care for the look where the back is up so high.

is so BLEEPIN ugly and teh big 3 wonder why toyota is #1
but the new chevy trucks kick ass!!!

you know i leased an 04 gto when they first came out. and the one thing i could never figure out is why they choose the rims they did for it. anyways those rims are junk, i dont know why they would put them on the 08. oh well i think the 08 looks like crap, i'd buy the camaro over it any day.

if the new goat doesnt look like the Judge or similar to that body style then bury the sucker and give us back the Firebird!...a bird based on the new Camaro concept would be awesome.

this is by far my fave style of GTO...something like this would be cool with me.

there is this concept of the GTO, but I'm not sure if this was the concept for the current GTO or not.

that second one looks a lil better...it still needs to be a little longer and or wider

That second one makes me think of a Mustang, with that glass over the headlights like that. Front end overall, to me, just seems...not right. Take some hints from the earlier GTOs, and use quad headlights.

Pontiac GTO: The Goat will go on a 24-48 month hiatus starting in 2007. While on hiatus, a new GTO will be in the works to arrive in 2008. It will share components with the Camaro, but insiders assure us that they will not share any sheet metal.

G6 rumor
We’ve heard for a long while now that Pontiac wants to be a true performance niche brand at GM. Apparently they are serious, because rumor has it that the front-wheel drive G6 is cancelled. It’s important to note that the G6 is getting a replacement; what type of replacement that will be is uncertain. It is believed that Pontiac will be replacing the G6 with a similarly sized rear-wheel drive performance car; a 3-series type car if you will

I'll hold out for a Challenger. The current GTO makes me happy, but I'd rather have a car that actually looks like an old muscle car.

I'm actually pretty tired of the retro styling. For the price of a new muscle car you can buy a desent muscle car of the vintage you lust for and actually have what you wanted. Not some wannabe clone.

for instance
GTOs for sale

Thats why if I had the money to buy a new sports car I wouldnt buy a new one. I'd use that money to buy a used viper. If I'm gonna buy a sports car, I'm gonna buy one that not everyone else and their grandma has (mustang and to an extent corvette)

Word is Pontiac is going to dump all FWD platforms and go completely rear wheel drive, for everything. I think I read somewhere recently the Vibe is being dumped, the Torrent is being transferred to GMC, and the Grand Prix will be all rear wheel drive here shortly.

I thought the rumor was that the GP would be killed as well and the G8 would replace it. Isnt the new G8/GP platform the Theta platform or something like that. I dont know why but I remember reading that a while back. Maybe it was the Camaro/GTO that was going on the Theta or w/e.

I think you're right, I did see something about that new platform replacing the GP, but I guess in mind I still considered it would end up with the GP name, even though I've no clue if that will be the case.

Personally, I liked that 'Rageous' concept car they had a few years back. I'd buy one of those....

Yes please.

Edit: Aw, broken link now.

that does carry some wow factor, but it does look like a full sized hot wheels car. Looks more like a car you'd see in a parade than in someones driveway. And why 4 doors?
