I agree, I was looking at the pics and overall I like it but something just isn't right. 360 hp 6.0 is awesome though, wonder how much it will tip the scales at? Under 4000lbs and it ought to fly!!

I kinda like them. I didn't figure they would go over real big on this site, cuz most of you are hard core truck guys, but to each his own They will have the potential to be a badass fast street car and you can still haul junk around with them. I can't tell how many times I've said I would like to have the motor in my truck now in something that weighed 2000 lbs less

Yep, my father in law has a 07 vette (400 hp LS2) and it is faster than my ~500fwhp truck by the SOTP meter. I'm going to sucomb to the vette bug again soon. When the 05's get in the 25k price range i'll be getting one and modding the hell out of it.

Ya the pontiac front end is LONG overdue for a serious re-think. Too much plastic, looks like somthing RONCO came up with.

I love the idea of them bringing them back. I've thought it would be cool to bring them back for a while now. but the pontiac styling of it just isn't right.
It makes sense that they would do it now with the whole fuel economy quota they decided to meet. Like stated.. drop a 6.0 or the smallblock diesel in that puppy and ****'s gonna get real.

Seems like most of yea like it, maybe it will grow on me like the GTO did. When the GTO first came out in 04 I did not care to much for it but now I love them and thinking about getting one soon.
