Up until a few weeks ago I was contemplating trading my WRX for a Mustang or RX8.
The RX8 sure handles well but lacked in the power department. I was also sceptical about the rotary engine. How long would it last and what is the deal with the MPG!
I really like the look of the new Mustang GT. The interior is pretty good for a Mustang and the performance is great for the price. However, the backseat (which is do need one) was pitiful. IMO they should shorten the car and just call it a two-seater.
Enter GTO and great rebates. To make a long story short: I drove my new Pulse Red M6 home tonight.
I feel really good with this purchase. I get a great performance car, for a very reasonable price and it has a back seat for grown-ups. I liked the car from the very beginning but could not justify the $34K price tag. A few weeks ago I started seeing information about serious discounts on the GTO and I said to myself: "hmmmm." Wife and I test drove one a couple of weeks ago and both fell in love with it. We found the exact color combo we wanted and paid $26,100 +tax.
I strongly disagree with all the people who do not like the styling. I love the way it looks! I am tired of both the boy racer import and the overstated latemodel musclecar. To me, the GTO has a great balance between power, luxury and style. Performance is plenty. I do not need a 11 second car to get my kicks. I believe that the sound and torque of the LS1 is going to reward me with smiles for a long time.
Though the uniqueness of the car might change in the future, to date my car is only the 2nd GTO I have seen on the road.
Happy motoring everyone!
