Before recent days, I had probably seen maybe two or three Pontiac GTOs (the Aussie imports) in my lifetime.

Recently, though, I'm seeing them VERY often, like maybe once every other day.

Is it just me, or do some of you out there see them more often as well? (aside from those of you who own one )

I see them all the time here. I drove to Scottsdale last week, and I saw 3 of them within 20 minutes. I usually see one every couple of days, besides mine.

I see probably one every week or two. I would guess the reason you're seeing more is because there are now probably around 40k on the road vs. 20k on the road not that long ago.

Australia?

Australia?

I don't follow...

I see one a month if i'm lucky in Upstate, NY

I see... maybe one a year?

That may have something to do with the fact that they weren't sold in Canada. :AH-HA_wink:

I don't follow...

If you flip the car over, it says Made in Australia

Well not exactly. Take a wheel off however, and the brakes say it.

It's been pretty steady here... they're quite common, as compared to Bentley Continental GTs.

I see them all the time, and each sighting makes me a bit sad.

I saw a grayish green one today, no plates, very clean. Beautiful car. Love the exhaust grumble on them.

long island has a pretty active car scene, so i see goats ALL the time.... i want a black LS2 M6 GTO soooooo bad...

I've seen 3 since they came out riding down the road, are you sure you're not getting them confused with the Chevy Cavalier?

Stifle, wretch!

BTW: What's that thing in your sig?

zeta impala chop...

Who chopped it?

Oh yeah, I knew that. I figured the Aussie versions would have just ben Monaros, though.

Now you know I never kiss and tell! :AH-HA_wink:

Then tell them it needs more work - a lot more work.

Now, don't hate!

No hate, but that design doesn't work in about a hundred ways.

Hmmmmmm, I would warm up to it if I were you!

Not likely, that puppy's homely. Very odd proportions, yet plain all at once.

Yuck!

Well from a dealer standpoint they are all coming off of there 3 year lease now so i see tons of them coming up at auction. So more should be rehitting the road everywhere. Im personally holding out for one that piques my interest. still deciding between the 04-05-06

Go with the 05-06 6 speed. The 6.0L feels so much more powerful than the 5.7L, and the dual exhaust is amazing.

yeah but they dampered the exaust a little with the new duals.... im kind of partial to the 04 for its exaust note

but the main problem is color.... i like the black on red, black on black, blue on black (all three blues) blue on blue, and orange on black

Isn't the orange on black 06 only? That's the color I wanted the most. My second choice was blue on blue. Considering it took me 3 months to find an 05 6 speed, I wasn't going to be picky about color, unless it was silver.

My exhaust definitely sounds better than the 04 GTO I test drove. I drove to work with the radio off today just so I could listen to it!

well aside from all of that one more thing to consider.... price i can get a decent 04 for 15ish and an 06 for around 21 with around 6-20,000 miles depending on year and condition of course

and yes orange was only in 06

That's how it was for me when I was buying.

04 Auto, $19,500

05 manual, $25,500.

It was well worth it in IMO
