right right. I wasn't trying to bash anyone or any thing. I didn't want anyone to take it personal. I'm sure a lot of people think a 28 yr old man shouldn't be excited about having a suburban, but I was.

Sticky/broken gauges? I can help. PM me for details.
New camaro=fat cow car. Worst blind spots the the 4th gen ls. IMO the GTO looks like a grand prix streched.
I agree. While I love the car, calling it a GTO was a mistake.Originally Posted by lo-lyf
I could care less for either car, therefore I could care less how to spell the name.I might buy one so I can gut it for my future daily driven 70 GTO (after the XL is paid off). To my own defense, it was late when I wrote that post. Don't get me wrong I love most things Pontiac, I lost all faith in 2003 when I saw the first monaro with GTO badging. I regained a smidge when they came with the ls2, split duals, and hood scoops. However, still not a goat, mate. I think it was a lazy attempt to keep Pontiac off of the chopping block. My opinion, as humble as it may be.
Personally, I'd take a G8 over the new gto.
I did, and I love it.
For the same price point, so would I. But the same money buys you a LS2 GTO, or a V6 G8.
New G8's are LS based v8's the GXP is LS3, but they cost so much more that the GT G8
That's true to a point. The base model G8 is a V6. The G8 GT is a 6.0 with 6 speed auto. The GXP is the 6.2 available in 6 speed auto or 6 speed manual. He was comparing the prices of the GTO, which only came with a V8, and the base model G8 with the V6.

A top dollar GTO runs about the same as a base model G8... maybe not even that... and the base model G8 is equipped with a 3.6l V6, not any variation of an LS V8.
If you want to get into a V8 G8, it is going to cost you somewhere in the realm of 6K more than an equal-mileage GTO.. a GXP (only way to get a manual)... basically DOUBLE. Don't get me wrong, I love my autos in my trucks, but sports/muscle cars should have manual trannies unless they're strait up drag cars. Just my opinion.

You are now officially defined GAY.
It's the same car but with FOUR doors. If the GTO was a FAIL (it was sales wise), the G8 is a super fail. GTO, G8, Catera are all the same car with different plastic and crap. If you have to choose, at least get the ONE with two doors.
I'll take a silver 2006 GTO with red interior and M6, thanks.
