Why GM didnt make this car will forever be a mystery

I found this on cardomain, so all credit to nostransam. I feel like this is what the GTO should have looked like.

Edit: Credit to Victor Smalls for this masterpiece

nah id rather not see the GTO look like that. its a grand prix, it would be cool if they made the 04+ in a coupe but the GTO looks better then this

^^ i agree, but they shoulda made the GTO look less like the cavilier tho haha, as much as i like the gto look they def coulda done bit better, as far as the car by OP, looks badass but shouldnt of replaced the gto

Lol that's Victor Smalls photoshop of his GP

And thank god he did the photoshop. Id give my left nut for one of these with an LS2

Alas, the GTO was the reason we never got a two door 04+. GM was afraid the GTP and eventual GXP would take sales away from the GTO.

Now...put a G8 pic next to it. 4 doors and still cooler.

The gto was released before ford and dodge released their mustangs and chargers that were supposed to be retor gm screwed up there they should of made the gto like the 60's gto's

ehh idk, GM still would have ****ed a "retro" gto up imo...it took them awhile to come up with what the 5th gen Camaro should look like....

A "retro" would have still been a failure

retro would have been an uber failure.

If someone made a real 2 door 04+ that would be sweet.

Wait a second, 07 Monte Carlo SS, 2 door, LS4. I keep forgetting about that one.

W Body: 3800+ M90 = 260 CHP, FWD. Le slow.

V body: LSx, 350-400 CHP, RWD, two doors, awesome interior. Le win.

If a gto looked like that i definitly would'nt own one. A gto is a holden monaro not american, its aussie

Yes. We all know that. But Holden is owned by GM, an american company.

I agree that's what I was expecting

There is nothing american about the gto, its almost like calling an acura american

theres nothing american about GM except the name. its multinational with main stuff being developed in europe (opel) and korea (chevy/daewoo).

thats what my gp will look like someday in the far future

Custom fabrication time!!!

I know three people with gtos. All have the seats falling apart around the seams and door handle paint is chipping. 2 had lifter issues ls1 and ls2. I still love these cats tho but I'll never own one. I'll take a 4th gen ss.
