Looks nice.
Too bad it will have a GM label on it.
The quality will probably suffer in the hands of the BEAN COUNTERS.

GM products are iffy at best when it comes to build quality... looks good though - not so swoopy and full of "power bulges" as recent stylings.

I like the front and the inside of the car but the back could use some help.

Hmmmm. not too bad. I might have to consider it for my next car. It'll be interesting to see if Australian quality is any better than U.S. quality.

I saw one at SEMA.

Its an AWESOME looking car. Incredible in fact considering its a pontiac.


It was one of the better looking new cars there.

The back looks like a Sylvia.


Christopher was driving one in this seasons Sopranos if ya didnt notice.


dope ride.

This car supposed to be on display at the '03 LA Auto show, who's going?



If anybody has the Vin Diesel "XXX" dvd yet, it's got a sneak preview of the '04 Goat.

Thats a hot car.

Not sure if i could trust the quality, but if i could....sweet.

i hope its not the same 6 speed as the Vibe. I test drove that and the gearbox is (/me shudders) crap.

Not even close, this is a RWD longitudinal mounted engine. The Vibe is a FWD transverse mount; additionally, it would be able to handle the 350 LB/Ft from the LS1 engine.

GM looks like they are FINALLY developing a decent interior. Although it may feel cheap, but I know Lutz made the improvement of GM interiors a high priority

I agree. I love the 370 Hp Judge. I didn't care for the color however. That car really kicked ass.

Well the outside looks like a 2-door Caddy Catera, which was sold back in 1996 or something. The interior looks WONDERFUL though, V-8 RWD thing ownsz me. And it has an IMAGE...

GTO, I can see myself actually in this car. Good job Lutz!
