I liked the GTO from down under. Most domestic cars didn't look much better by then.  Here is my GMP version.

GMP 2006  Pontiac GTO cyclone grey(T10)

I quite liked the Holden based GTO seen in North America and was very surprised when sales lagged.  I did note that it really mattered what color a person bought; certain colors could make it look a bit plain.

@geoff-jowett  That's why it was built for the Australian market.

gotta be our refined taste!

@geoff-jowett ...you may be right. 

As noted, aside from the hood scoops and Pontiac trademark twin grill - there was little else that looked American nor GTO-ish.    Nothing about the design language suggested this was a modern take of a once formidable (and quite seminal ) rolling American cultural icon.   Because of that, its fate was sealed.

I actually like the Monaro based GTO. It didn't have the retro look I believe the consumer was looking for, but still a nice looking car for the era. No worse looking than a BMW or Mercedes coupe of the same vintage. Smooth, clean and fast.😊
