Well some are far from reality, this one guy says "In order to get me in a charger you would have to offer a 2dr, M6, and try and come close in interior quality." What an idiot.... Seriously, Interior quality from GM cars that are not caddys?? BAAHAHAHAA...
Anyway though, they dont seem to bad overall, I just see a whole lotta underrating the LX platforms, Do any of these guys realize they are comparing a sport 2 door foundation to a 4 door sedan foundation... Maybe if we dropped 600lbs and added a 6 speed there would not be no contest. But now-adays everyone compares apples to oranges so it doesn’t matter.
Not to get persnikity but (and bear in mind here my household includes two dodges and a lincoln) you are a little off target. The GTO is built on a european chasis (shared incidentally with a cadillac that is now R.I.P.), and is not built by UAW. It goes through far better quality control than any other GM vehicle sold over here, with the possible exception of said cadillacs. The LX platform can and has been used for 2 doors (I mean it is the same as a last generation E-class... and they built CE models on it, and I am sure over in europe it would have been built with a manual), so the 2 door M6 is not inconceivable... in fact that is probably what most in the mopar community wanted too.
As to apples to oranges... a lot of people cross shop these cars. I know which way I am leaning, but it has more to do with payment plans and aftermarket support than anything else.

I understand your point of view, but besides the amount of interior room in the LXs which is far beyond the GTO, and the fact that it weight 600lbs more.... Are what prevent these cars from being in the same class. Some people might compare the too, but many why want a GTO would never want a LX and even more people who want LXs will not want a GTO. Until the Challenger or Cuda comes out, Chrysler will have nothing for this class
