TOP GEAR drives the pontiac GTO [VIDEO]

Note that when jeremy quotes the naught to 60 time of 6.6 seconds, he is mistakenly quoting the regular monaro stats, not the stats of the HSV GTO(LS1) he's driving.

here's two links, right click save as:

Big VERSION

SMALL size, but out of aspect so don't bitch!

yeah, I watched it. Took forever to download the big version even with broadband. Anyway, like the engine, like the back end, but the front end is boring and that's an awful lot of money for a pontiac! If I were going to spend that money now, I would be looking at a G35.

After seeing the video it still doesn't make me want to go out and buy one. A nice car for the price however.

i think the new GTO looks terrible. really, really terrible actually. it's a pontiac, so i should have known not to get my hopes up when i first heard rumors. nice engine though.

I saw it couple of days ago. Great sounding machine and seems to hold up well on the track. Only thing bugs me is the bland styling for a car with that much personality.

Its a nice car for 33k, the only thing really holding it back is the styling. too bad they didn't put it under the cadillac name, would have been interesting.

They have the CTS-V for that. The Monaro is sort of too outdated to be a new Caddy. It's based off the old Catera chasis
