It's going to be a while... only 18,000 or so this year... frown

Probably late fall

Ive heard they should be getting in about late august. Only 18,000 will be imported (thank the UAW for that one) Ive heard that dealers are only going to get like one or very few since there are so few. Who knows.

Guess we will find out this fall. Wonder how much they will mark them up.

I wonder if they will be placing markups on the cost, like Ford is doing with the Mach 1 at dealers near me.

I can almost guarantee a markup during the first year. Given that they will be imported in limited numbers from Holden (Australia) - I've heard they will be retooling and adding additional capacity for the GTO for export purposes in the years to come. Since they won't be able to supply the domestic Holden's and US market GTOs with their current factory setup without slighting one side or the other.

Hopefully the increased supply - should mean better pricing to us.

Besides I would skip the first year - just for the sake that it is the first model year. There are bound to be bugs that will need to be fixed. Wait for model year 2 or even 3. savewave

I ordered an 04 GP after much debate, since it is a first year model. Although my 99 GA was a first model year and held up pretty well. The 04s are built in that quality award winning plant in Ontario, so hopefully that will help. But I'm sure there will be bugs and recalls nonetheless.

I don't have any doubts about the plant that assembles the car - I have doubts about the wacky engineers that designed it! wink

Austin had a new car show this past weekend. Saw a GTO in person for the first time. What a sweet ride!
