Default Separated at birth?


BMW 6 Series


Pontiac GTO

Am I the only one who sees some similarities here?? Is BMW trying to make all of their non-Z cars look like plain Jane domestic sedans/coupes??? Good lord.

The GTO will have 305hp just like the F-bodies did. Actually, from I've read, the GTO will be 340hp with true duals.....if it's stock dyno #'s are anything like the '01 and up Vettes and F-bodies they will soon be dusting BMW owners and the like for half the price.
