this is just a personal opinion of course...but I watched a piece on the speed channel this past weekend where they spotlighted both the GXP and the GTO...I just couldnt help but be sad...it seems to me that Pontiac (and a few others) are making huge strides in the hardware dept...better engines and drivetrains than we've had in years...and as much as the underskin goodies have gotten better, the styling is slowly sliding downhill...the GTo looks better than it did but its still lacking the pizazz...I needed to warm to the new GP back in 04, especially since there was no coupe...but the restyle of the front fascia on the GXP reeks of the old BMW "horse collar" grille...dont get me wrong, its a potent machine for sure but I just wish I had the drivetrain under the hood of my 01.
