The GTO was a great looking car, had all the power you really needed (save for that terrible A4 transmission), and is still a well sought after car even now.
Completely agree. Great car if you could accept it for what it was. A rebadged existing car offered to fill the void caused by the f body's demise. GM wasn't going to design a car specifically for the GTO name then and they aren't going to do it now to make the GN look "80s". Same deal with the SS
