Its official, Pontiac is cutting the GTO. The last models will be delivered in september.
Now Pontiacs only RWD car will be the Solstice and those are a limited production(make more you idiots). The problem with the GTO is that it didn't look like the classic GTO, don't get me wrong, the 6.0 liter can run with the
M3s no problem, it is a great car, it looks awesome, except for the back, Pontiac would have sold a lot more if they designed one from the ground up.
Thats pontiacs problem, not designing their own cars. The Vibe is a Matrix, and the GTO is a Monaro. The Vipe sucks i don't see why they even bothered, i have ridden in one and there are no arm wrests, what the hell how am i supposed to relax with out my arm wrests.
Now Pontiac says it wants to be the American BMW with performance across the board, then they better start converting all their cars to RWD and give them a lot of gitty up.
Look foreward to a new Pontiac flag ship in 2009, if Chevy makes a new camaro, the pontiac will probaly be a firebird or another, more agressive GTO.
One last thing, if GM isn't planning on any high performance family cars then they might as well declare bankrumptcy (i think thats how you spell it).
