Goddamn, I was born in the wrong generation, two doors back then were bigger than four doors now! What the fuck happened to cars? I don't want a fucking corolla or a chevy cruze, i want a gas guzzling, V8, hunk of noisy ass steel!!!
@elviscash56 I agree your comments with the doors, but... The Pontiac GTO must come back - make a COMEBACK, dammit!!!
Anywayif the CEO of GM please, do rethink this bad decission, then I must say. Make a 2-door sedan AND A 4-DOOR SEDAN - AND FASTBACK 2-DOORS. All the other new muscle cars are 2-doors, I suppose? The new Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Challenger are all awesome. But it woluld be great with a 4-door too. A compact Muscle Family car. Wrooom! and then next step - a new Chevelle. Vroooom!
I loved the GTO, had a friend that had a '64 midnight blue one with 3 deuces, wow, fast car, no one could beat him. I also had a cousin that had a saddle tan '64 convertible with 389/3-2's on it and man, what a car, I drove that one, he had a 45 pound truck clutch in it with a Hurst Tower and Cragars, beauty of a car. He wishes he still had it. That was a "girl getter" for sure!!!
@gtarz40ful Love those early 60's mopars, there so ugly that they are beautiful! Some people think that a 57 chevy is a muscle car,hell some fuckers even think that a corvette is a muscle car, go figure?
I still hold out hope that GM will finally get a real CEO who will have the vision to bring back Pontiac, and make it a truly rear-wheel drive excitement division. Only needs to have one or two models. I have a 2007 Solstice, and I know it's not the greatest car in the world, but it puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel.
I can't believe Mickey Thompson , and his influence on pontiac wasn't even mentioned, oh yeah and pontiac ,olds,buick ,caddy,they all died along time ago , RIP
Biggest mistake ever made in the car industry was to kill the Pontiac line!!! I have a 64 Pontiac GTO and I wish they had revived the GTO (any year) like the Camaro and Challenger have been. Pitiful decisions made by heads of GM and the bailout BS!!!
I read the news today thi morning. 1002 2010. Pontiac is no more, or? Why kill an American Icon? The Muscle Car among Muscle Cars.
PLEASE GM- RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION! Why can you just continue with Pontiac GTO - inspired of the design of the 60th? And use different engines. Just like they do with the Mustang and the Camaro. That car , I´m sure of that will be a success! Let Chief Pontiac GTO live! Why not call the most brutal engine GTO The DeLorean? Wrooooom! Please Detroit!
Read the news today-the 1st Sept-10. GM will offer stocks to the public. GM has a new CEO. Great! Business as usual. The big three Detroiters are back. Yes! Please relaunch the Pontiac GTO with design of the -60, 70th! It is an Icon of American cars! It is an Icon among American cars. The GTO is like a Diamant! Is it because a Diamant is expensive? No, it is because a Diamant is brilliant and HARD!!! WROOOOOOOOM!
@petereuropa Well, I now remember: you say Diamond in English American language - it doesn't matter. They say that a Diamond last for ever. The beauty of Diamond and a GTO from those days last for ever! That's right De Beers.
I am afraid that GM is under pressure from the new owners. Here they have an icon among all cars, and they skip the chance of a making a success. Like the Mustang is developing new cars with the Bullit design in mind, GM ignore the GTO. The design of the GTO of the 60th - 70th is one of the best seller GM have ever produced. I am sure that a lot of people miss the all American car design of that time. America need the retro Pontiac GTO in a new version. I'm sure of that!
It's a silver metallic PONTIAC GTO 1966 CONVERIBLE. I can, and will, look at it almost every day.
I cannot drive it. It is made in Hong Kong and it's only about 14 cm long. But it is still one of the most beautiful cars ever build in the whole world! I love it.
Hey, Directors of GM. Why not pick up the drawings from the cellar and build a new P GTO with those drawings? Build it with that design you had at that time but put in a modern engine and other modern stuff in that car. Of course don't miss the sound and the power of the engine.
Skip European or Japanese design. This is the retro right on Wrooom!
Thanks to the late John DeLorean for stuffing a 389 V8 into that little Tempest and coming up with the GTO badge. Great cars those early goats, my favorite being the 1965. The 1962-68 Grand Prix is a very special car too. They have not built anything that comes close to these great cars in a long time and never will again.
oldswas first to stuff an engine from a full size car into a mid size car,even ford did it a year before the gto with the thunderbolt(which made at least 200 more horsepower than the gto's engine)and a chrysler was the first to be called a muscle car in the late 50s.the max wedge,hemi,409,z11,ford 427,& the 421 superduty were already out first as well.
lame, the gto was not even close to the first muscle car. mopar was building 300hp rockets in the mid 50's. the hemi has been around since 1951. even the max wedge cars beat them to the market by 2 years.
Did anyone else notice that although the GTO sported a "6.5 Litre" emblem on the fenders, 389ci is actually 6.38 litres, barely 6.4 litres.

Pontiac was full of names that made absolutely no sense like GTO, Le Mans, Grand Prix, Bonneville, Grand Am.
But I still like them especially the 65 GTO.
