You can have your 6.0L engine tough guy. I'll take my TL, my 3200 sq ft house, my 2 kids, my 2 OTHER cars, my 3 acres, and my awesome wife... thank you.

If you represent the average GTO driver, I have a new disrespect for all of you fuckers. Have fun spanking it to GTO pics in Mom and Dad's basement..

Don't even bother responding. You don't belong here and this is my last post to you.. Don't forget to give your mom a kiss on the cheek before you go to bed tonight.
Please, don't even bother to make fun of GTO owners when you have people like MDOC on your boards posting crap like he does. It makes you guys look just as bad.

Just in the look of the car GM really let us down!! It went from being one of the most bad ass looking cars on the road in the 60's and 70's, to this hunk of shit! Sure it might be pretty quick! But looks wise---the mustang GT(ford did a much better job then GM) The Charger, they all are so much better!! Dont get me wrong, there was a part in my life where all I would buy were GM cars! But I feel that they have let us down lately whith all of there car lines! They all look cheap, and generic!! There trucks are still nice! If you bought a GTO, I bet after a good 6 months to a years you be hearing some serious rattles as well!
Stop fucking screaming.

I do like the charger, but I wish it had the same front end as the Magnum...wonder if it's possible to swap the hood, fenders, and bumper...

All I see is a car with four doors, an automatic only tranny, and another cheap dodge interior!

Dont get me wrong.... The charger would make a great practical family car.... But calling it a chrager and giving it four doors......

Watcha thinking dodge? I am sure it will out sell the GTO b/c that car is what an average american wants...

True car enthusiats are not average americans...

The only thing you have against the GTO is looks which are always subjective. So that makes it a horrible car? What is wrong with you? The car has great build quality, a plush interior made of excellent materials, and performance of a sportscar.

So I have read the reviews, and sure its quick! But the shifting sucks! The clutch is heavy! Did you not read about all that! and you might want to take back the plush interior remark, it looks bad on your part!! The interior look nasty! But I will give you the off the line speed is good! Every car at least has some plus's to it!

What is wrong with you guys?

You are comparing two completely different cars to each other.

The TL is light years ahead features and luxury wise.

The GTO will absolutely blow the doors off the TL in straight line performance.

Facts are that the GTO is a muscle car with mediocre build and hardcore speed.
The TL is a decent luxury car with luxury features and amenities.

END of story.

Everybody knows the interior is great on the GTO's, except for you it seems. GM did not design the interior, Holden did. That is why it is made of good materials, looks great, and is functional. The clutch is going to be slightly heavy on a 400 HP car, sorry. Go to the gym more often. The shifting is fine, I have no problem with it. Instead of reading about it, go sit in one and test drive it.

The problem is your are calling your interior great and we all drive TL's. You dont see us saying our engine's put out gobs of power when talking to GTO owners.

Because your engine doesn't? Believe it or not, the new Acura TL was one of the cars I was looking at when I bought the GTO. While the interior is better then a GTO's, it is not by leaps and bounds like a regular GM product. I love both the TL and the GTO but some of the comments here are beyond belief.

Exactly, our engine doesnt in comparison to the 6.0GTO, just like your interior doesnt in comparison to us.

Ive been in a GTO. For GM it's nice, but you can't preach to the choir about a nice interior when we have something that far upstages what you have. (interior wise)

It is not a GM interior. It is a holden interior. Again, while better the GTO's interior, the Acura's was nothing spectacular, sorry. If I wanted a nice interior with excellent quality that is unsurpassed, I would buy a Lexus.

Now you're just slinging shit because you're bored.

You havent sat in these cars with full on features if you make that statement.

Many of us have shopped lexus and the fact is these interiors are up to par with each other on nearly every level.

I guess I should start comparing you to a Mustang GT.

Im sure you have something better to do.

I thought I was being pretty civil. I think Lexus has always outdone Acura when it comes to interior. Wait, I forgot, your opinion is always accurate right?

Dude, you have been comparing one car that has a 6.0 v8 to a car with a 3.2 v6!! Of course the v-8 is going to have more power! It better! It should be a bigger difference in horsepower then it is though! Name one V-6 that GM makes that could hang with the 3.2!! Thats right-----You cant, so shut up!! The interior on the TL is far superior to the GTO!!

thats already been covered. I checked out their thread and I find it very fascinating they started banning people right off the bat. GM folks are somewhat sensitive...

When I looked at GTOs in early 2005, a couple of months before getting the TL, the left-over 350 hp 2004 GTOs were being advertised at $24000 or so. GTO is a BIG 2-door with seats in which I could not get comfortable and which had few amenities compared to the TL, so I did not even drive it despite salespeople begging me to do so. The 400-hp 2005 GTOs should probably be marked down to $26,000 by January 2006 (less than a V-6 Accord), so you could save $7,000 by buying a GTO instead of a TL, if that is any consideration.

The best is some clown over there said he doesnt called a TL luxury or entry level luxury.

They own GTO's with that claim, that's ridiculous.

Makes me embarassed to own other domestic vehicles.

Maybe you'd like a used '03 Jaguar S-Type R, 390 HP, 400+ lb ft of torque, all the power of a GTO and luxury of a TL, you can get one with ~30k miles for about the price of a TL

All the GTO guys have to look at is GM's financial records... Honda has record sales... GM... Ummmm... Hm... What's their financial status like?
I wonder how long until the government pulls a Lee Iocca on them and bails them out. I say two years.

GM has no support on Capital Hill. There won't be any kind of bail out from Washington, I'm afraid. The only way GM will be saved is if management somehow finds the courage to take the UAW head on and hammered out a new deal.
