The 8K rim "upgrade" is not a real option, it is a local dealer thing so that shouldn't be taken into any thought what-so-ever about the car. I agree it isn't what the hype might have made it to be, but I do believe there is a good starting point for a nice GM daily driver.

regardless 33 grabd can be much better spent. If what you are calling a nice GM daily driver is actually an overpriced piece that lacks many common ammenities found in most newer cars, then that's just pathetic on GM's part. 33 grand can get you alot as far as luxury, or sports cars go. You just have to know where to go.

It sounds like your mind and opinion was already made up going into it. You were just looking for the "defects" and other little things.

nononoono....i went with my friend , my mind was totally pro GTO. I had seen one earlier that day on 19 and was totally in love. There's no disputing that, i thought it was the next hottest thing to sliced ass bread. my opinion changed when i hit the dealership and actually drove one.

I bet you'd be the first to spend $33K on a used, 100K mile Supra turbo and that thing doesn't even have cup holders or a full set of gauges!
