GTO Regeneration: Next-gen Pontiac muscle car reportedly will hit market in '08

BOB GRITZINGER
Posted Date: 8/3/05

What you see in this illustration is a fairly close rendition of what we can expect when the next-generation Pontiac GTO hits the market in 2008. We say “fairly close” because we’ve seen the super-secret spy photos upon which it is based, and the actual shots show a sleeker, wider, lower and, frankly, far more appealing car.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is General Motors’ Aussie division Holden reportedly may not start cranking out these future Goats until 2008, a full two years after production ceases on the 2006 Holden Monaro-based GTO.

One more tidbit: It’s not shown here, but we hear GM is considering doing this GTO as a four-door coupe, using rear-hinged rear-access doors without visible handles.

That is not my cup of tea...

Given the choice, I'd rather wait for the older GTO's to pass exemption or lobby for homogenisation of CDN laws and US laws

Definitely has a more boxier look to it. Some of it I like, some of it I don't care for.

Have a good one,
Justin

i personally think that it looks different. I think it is better than the 97-03 grand prix front the current gto has
