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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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.
