I highly doubt it will end up looking like that, kinda like the beautiful and awesome '99 Charger R/T concept car we were teased with.

I don't really like the design. I never see the GTO's around. I don't like them that much.

I'd be amazed if they build that. Aren't they, GM, trying to get away from RWD platforms. I really think that the GTO, Gets Towed Often, will fall by the way-side like the Camaro/Firebird did.

i think it looks pretty cool. the front looks wild and the profile looks good too except for the front in the profile. something just doesn't look right.

That's what I'm saying. The whole time they have been out. I have only seen 2 GTO's.

I also doubt it gets designed that way. I dunno what is the big deal about the nostalgic look of the classic cars. I like the idea that Dodge and GM are bringing back the classic names on new designs that look nothing like their classics. It gives them their own fresh look. They are looking forward instead of backwards!

The GTO sucks, and it will continue to suck. Even in possible sketches.

Last I heard (from a reliable GM source I know) the GTO is only gonna be imported for 3 yrs. 07 should be the last one. The Pontiac dealer here had 7 on the lot at once and 5 of them ended up being loaded on a carrier to go to different dealers. Not really a hot selling car like they hoped. They really should had left teh Monaro bumper's and grille instead of that goofy looking pontiac setup.

It does have the rear of a Mustang. Almost identical.
The car looks like an accord rear, potiac middle and pontiac front.

i read that the platform the next gto was supposed to be built on has been canceled for any U.S. cars for now, including the next gto- that was out of a gm exec's mouth. it doesnt really look like a professional sketch any way, but it is a descent sketch.

Its not canceled its just delayed and thats straight from a letter by Bob Lutz. Thier holding it back here so they can push out other products first. But the platform will be used internationally. As for the 08' GTO, there will be one and it will be new. Thier gonna build on it on platform that can be used for front, all-wheel and rear wheel drive. So its pretty legit, Secondly the pick is out of a 2 page 08' GTO spread in motor trend, im pretty sure its legit.

That picture is not of the next GTO. The next generation GTO and the rebirth of the Camaro, have been put on hold, since they were to be put on GM's Zeta platform, which was axed last month. If the GTO is still in production at the end of the current car's run in 2006; the next GTO will still be built off of the Holden Monaro platform because of the death of the Zeta platform. Even if the GTO and Camaro were to get the Zeta platform, it looked like they were to be build on the Holden line in Elizabeth, Austrailia.
Personally, everyone knows I love the current Holden Monaro/Pontiac GTO... but I truely would love to see the 1999 Pontiac GTO Concept come back on the axed Zeta platform w/ the 400 horsepower 6.0L "LS2" V-8. The concept used many design cues from the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge, and sorta looked like a modern Batmobile. The car had the muscluar Pontiac design look.
