While it is a little dissapointing that the new GTO wasn't designed and built from the ground up in Detroit, Michigan, USA, it's still a creation of a General Motors subsidiary. That is still enough to be proud of. It's not like GM went to Honda and asked them to build the car.
they might as well have just went to some other company and asked them to build them a great car. to me there's no difference in what they did with the new GTO. the fact remains, they still couldn't do it themselves whether they own the subsidiary or not. its not like they started holden, they bought it out.
their idea is a modern muscle car - and they fail with all of their own attempts, so they use someone else's car, stick an iconic name on it and call it their own. where is the pride in that?
