Yeah, Wangers said the GTO failed to evoke any heritage in the looks deparment, but he still loves the car and says it's every bit a true GTO. He said the car needed to be driven to be fully apperciated, and I couldn't agree more with him more. That was one of the major problems he mentioned, the dealers wouldn't let anyone drive the cars in '04 unless they were going to buy them. How are you to get people exicted about a car they know nothing about if you won't let them get behind the wheel? Take the new Mustang, people are crazy about it's retro looks, but I know guys who test drove them and were very disappointed. And that stupid allocation system Pontiac used of trying to guess where the GTO would sell the best. And then of course you had the dealers who knew absolutely nothing about the car. It was just a bad formula all together. It's just sad because it really is a great car and just a blast to drive. I just hope if it comes back they really do it right.
