While the GTO is a very solidly built car and a vast improvement over the Fbods in terms of engineering and build quality, I never could get past the boring and dated styling inside and out. For the price, there are simply more appealing cars on the market. A shame, because the drivetrain is excellent. The LS engine is extremely reliable and relatively fuel efficient for the power it puts out. Of all the GM cars I've owned, the TA has been the most dependable...which strikes me as funny for some reason.
