    GTO clone which means wait a year and get it cheap.

    I think it's a fair bit better looking than the GTO (maybe it's the all blacked out look)... Wonder what the powertrain is??? I'd love to see another Turbo6, but I doubt it. Probably just another LSx V8...

    sorry, it doesn't do anything for me. It still has that door wedge shape just like the GTO. I'd much prefer the 07 Shelby GT500 which will have a broader powerband. Just my opinion folks.

    I must agree with BillyG.

    It's a door stop, so if I shop,

    I'd hate to be saying, "Dang,

    I coulda had a Mustang."

    Call me crazy, but if you really want to know what that body style reminds me of, I have to tell you that the grill and the hood of that hideous car reminds me of the creature in the movie "Jeepers Creepers" ..... look at the pics below and tell me if that thing's forehead looks like the hood and the grill on this car to you. Because it sure does to me.

    You're not crazy Billy, it does resemble the creature.

    I think it's styling is just too "busy".

    Too many lines and angles. The mid '90s Impala was the last really good body style GM had. And I thought it was a bit "pantherish".

    Seems GM has been doing a lot of that in the last few years. Maybe that's why their sales are tanking.

    I think the car would look better if they just put a plain flat hood on it. AKA, no scoops.

    yeah, that hood just makes it look like the "Creature from the Black Lagoon"...just put some type of marine life set of ears on the front wheel wells , and it can be the star in a cheap Horror flick.

    Sorry people. I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I couldn't resist. Forgive me if I've displayed bad manners.

    I had a "real" GN from 87-01. I miss that car.

    This one looks good but seems to small.

    I prefer the old Buicks.
