Mr.Shelby said:GTO look ugly... Wouach
Ugly? No. Boring styling, looks too much like an old Grand Prix and doesn't stand out from a crowd? Yes. If you like it fine but just be understanding that the majority of the people in the car buying state of mind do not like the way it looks and a good amount of people do not feel that it is worthy of the name GTO. Personally I would not pay mid 30s for a car that even car guys don't notice until you get right up on them. There's a Pontiac dealer I was by everyday on the highway when you look over their lot they have an entire corner with like 5-6 GTOs sitting there(the same ones that have been there since the beginning of the summer mind you) but then when you pass the GTOs and look at the rest of the cars on their lot...it doesn't really stand out.02MGSTANG said:I read a lot of "plain ugly" comments...

TomServo92 said:Except that it's going to be 4,000+lbs four door sedan available only with an automatic. I doubt it's going to perform as well as either the Mustang or the GTO. Also, if the styling is anywhere close to the Car & Driver rendering, it isn't going to be a very pretty beast either.
TomServo92 said:Where did anyone say a car had to be cute? You seem to overly concerned about having the biggest and baddest car (must be compensating for a lack of something). If I'm going to shell out $30K for a car (which I have done...have you?), I expect the whole car to appeal to me, not just the engine. The GTO isn't selling with 350HP, what makes you think 50 more HP is going to make a difference? GM needs to address the real issue as to why the GTO isn't selling which isn't HP, it's styling. There are only so many people that will shell out that kind of coin based solely on the engine. Adding a couple of hood scoops and dual exhaust isn't going to cut it. Hopefully they'll do a better job with the redesign (if the GTO survives that long).

Detonate said:Sorry even though I created this thread, I don't feel the mustang is unique. I see the car everywhere. If you see 1 GTO on the streets, wouldnt that mean it's unique? I know it resembles other cars, but some cars that were not so popular turn heads now--CRX, Civics, C4 corvettes (i think this is the one of the ugliest corvettes made)--mostly because they are modded. A GT is not pretty fast unless modded and in Nyc, mustang drivers believe their car is so fast, even when the only thing they have is a welded on exhaust (the ghetto kids). So Stangs don't get alot of stares except the usual glance because of the commonality and stereotype. True that the 05 will be different and the stang does have a body that shows it's muscle, that some people take for granted, personally which I love looking at (black stangs), but once it becomes common around the block, it'll just be another stang. So in other words, stangs are sleepers (unless you got full exhaust no cat), and that would it's appearance would soon equivilate with the GTO. And when the number of stangs sold increases, modded stangs will be outweighed by unmodded stangs, and the one to make the ricers leak in their pants will be the GTO.
That's just my opinion. Overall I like how both cars look and believe it will take time to tell which appearance will become legendary.

The new GTO will have the 6.0L LS2 Corvette engine for a little bit over $30K. Looks like it will just miss Corvette times, 0-60 in the mid 4's and quarters in the mid to high 12's stock. LS engines are so easily modded and can handle so much power its not even funny. Hell, just add a supercharger and you will destroy 95% of the cars on the road, I dont think the GT can say that. Get the GTO.

TomServo92 said:When you see the '05, you KNOW it's a Mustang. You don't mistake it for something else. Even '99 - '04s were unmistakable from a styling perspective. When I see a GTO, I have to look twice to make sure it isn't a Grand Am or a Grand Prix or a [insert GM model name here].
