I dunno, the GTO at least follows the spirit of the original. It's based off an existing GM platform (Monaro=Lemans), it's not flashy, and it's FAST.

I always disagreed with the people who think GM dropped the ball with the GTO. If they had made it any more visually extreme it would've compromised the name. The current GTO doesn't compromise the name at all. The original looked boring, but it wasn't boring underneath. Same with the new GTO.

This Charger, however, is an embarassment to DC.

I second that. The current GTO is very plain, but as said, that's how the very first one was in 64. The later 'real' GTOs of the 70s to me became cartoony and garish (particularly the 'Judge' one), which is probably why the last Trans Am ended up looking like it did.

The current one has one of the best interiors that GM has in any of its world cars, let alone in any of its ADM cars.

It's don't look, but it goes and sounds great!

I'm very confused - what's the difference between this and the 300? Same basic looks, although the details are different. Both four doors. Both with optional HEMI
