In comparison to the RX-8 in output of the motor, the higher-end Mustangs in price, and the Mercury Marauder in looks, the New GTO looks to be a better buy all around, and would be my first choice when it comes to all other sports cars on the market. And I'm not a GM person. And even though JZD, and GM parted ways a long time ago, the New GTO still has allot of DeLorean in it, and I don't mean in just the muscle car way. In the past, I saw an interview with JZD (I think it was on deloreantime.com), in which he was asked what GM's strategy should be. And he responded that rather than simply badge engineering only domestic cars (ie: F & J body cars), they should look to import cars from their overseas marques, and introduce them to the US as "new" cars. So I guess that Bob Lutz practicly followed that advice to a "T" when he went down under to Holden. ;-) Will I buy one? Not new, no. If I did, it would probably just sit in a carport somewhere, because I'd still be driving my D everywhere. It really is that fun to drive. I actually just plan to buy a GTO used in a few years, and restore it. New is nice, but restored is fun! -Robert vin 6585 "X"
