Can anyone honestly say with a straight face that the GTO was NOT a bust?

Drivetrain.....CHECK Worldclass....we can agree on this.
Interior apppointments........CHECK...way ahead of any F-body and huge step forward for GM.....

Exterior........The one that looked like a Cobalt on a strectched wheelbase? Fail, huge Fail.... The GTO's exterior styling was so generic that without the badges you would be hard pressed to pick it out in a crowd.

How much R&D, tooling and marketing $$$$ got flushed down the tubes on that one?
