Guy who thinks the GTO was a good looking car, is a guy who's opinion is not worth taking stock into.

I do agree that the rear end looks a lot like a Camaro, but I wouldn't mind having it in my driveway ,if I could afford it.

Actually, I don't think he likes the GTO, he's just saying that it was his favourite Pontiac design of late make. He even calls it a suppository on wheels.

That said, I also don't agree with his opinion on the C7, either.

I wonder if this thread will get locked, since the OP is simply referencing an article.

Actually,I think that's one of the better angles of the C7.
"**** SUPPOSITORY...:" that made me laugh.

"Rantings and Ravings of the Car Obsessed " - at least he got the ranting part right. His quad exhaust comment is quite revealing - he is clueless.

I assume your free to use expletives and derogatory terms in an internet based article while in print it's not accepted.
Not even in this forum.

Anyways the language dimished what the author had to say. F'in his way at the end of the article just turned me off.
I naturally assumed the individual had a set of ***** to mouth off like that, but one never knows.

Autophiliac has owned 30 cars and only one is American, he is more a fan of Japanese and German cars.

He could get a job at MSNBC or FOX news . Then he can find a strong market for people who like negative news.

Lol, he wants a sleeper? Fine, get a sleeper. The Corvette has never been a sleeper, in any of it's forms. That seems to be the basis of his argument. Is that what he says about any lambo as well? They are ugly because they don't look like a sleeper car? Get a van, sheesh.
