Chrysler brings back the Dodge Dart

Relax360 said

I was actually aware that GM tried to bring back the GTO. My first muscle car was a 68 Firebird which I still own. And I can tell you the Pontiac community was very disappionted with what GM came out with. It did not have anything to do with marketing. It was too expensive for the younger crowd and too ugly for the people who drove the originals.

I guess what I am saying is the problem I have isn't about how many cylinders my problem is the over all design

It DID have to do with marketing. Pontiac severely neglected the 04-06 GTO with respect to it's other models at the time. They spent very little in that department only hoping to get by on the GTO nameplate alone. Unfortunately, the percentage of the Sports Car buying public who recognize the GTO nameplate is very small. Pontiac did a horrible job of educating the public on that car.

I thought the car looked good. In terms of cost, the 05'-06' had a $30,000 MSRP. you got a Corvette drivetrain in a coupe for that price. No other car between 05'-06' offered that kind of performance for that price. Not the Mustang or Corvette or the Dodge Charger/Magnum SRT8's. I thought about buying one back in 06'. I regret not buying one.
