Remember, it's a Holden interior.

I drove a few of them at auto show in motion this past summer.

The car has loads of grunt but is not too tossable.

The interior is way better than any us built GM car with nice sport seats and alcantara type inserts in the doors.

The interior has received great reviews, and from the pics I've seen I agree. Fit and finish look great.

GM should have waited and just introduced the 05 from the get go, IMO.

The interior is very nice. Doesn't have the typical cheap, cheesy Pontiac grey knobs.

I sat in one at the car show at the Texas State Fair in Dallas. It was very nicely put together - not at all your typical Pontiac interior. If all I cared about was the interior, that car would be a decent buy. I don't mind the looks, inside or out, but it's not that inspiring. For $33K, I'd take an STi, S2000, or TL.

It's true, I was racing a friends MR-2 at the drag strip, and I got beat by a 50 year old woman with pearls and a hankerchief hanging from her rear view in a GTO, I cried

also from what I could see as of the interior, it looked pretty nice, definitely above the usual pontiac standard

I have to disagree, although the HVAC controls knobs are a different style from what Pontiac normally uses, they still felt very cheap and fragile. Nothing had a solid feeling to it. The seats were nice though.

You can get an '04 for well under $25k now with all the incentives, rebates, and dealer discounts. It's a great buy at that price point.

Interior for the GTO is definitely worlds better than most pontiac products. I was really impressed with the interior fit and finish when i drove it. You would never know that you are in an American car. (which you really arent')

I would have to agree that the "tossability" is not their in the GTO, but the shear grunt of the car makes it an appealling offer..
