Yeah, but I was always ranting about how they went about doing it as well.
You don't take a car using old technology and play it off as the latest best engineered NEW sport coupe. I would rather see them dump the biggest v8 they could find in the G6 coupe and call it a "revolution".

The GTO sparked the muscle car deal and the new one is just an insult. I don't have any personal reservations on the HoldenGTO... but hate them for how they went about marketing it... It is sortof how I get all "" every time I see a SAAB commercial bragging about it's aircraft engineer's latest creation... cou-rebadge-ough
