Yea.. i own a 2006 gto.
"non descript?" well it looks like a pontiac (even though its a holden).
Its supposed to be A gto.. not THE GTO. It was homologated for racing, unlike the original, and did very well.
I still dont understand why people think the original gto was flashy or something. Other than the silly spoiler and hot paint colors (by that day's standards) it was just a lemans without the chrome bumper (depending on year). A bodys were cheap and frankly fairly ugly. I've owned 3 70 GTOs and half a dozen other A body cars... like any american male muscle head. Well I've gone to the 06 and never looked back. When i want a cool project-- I'll hit up a mercedes or similar.

THe 2006 GTO is pretty frikkin awsome. Its american (gm) but based on the omega and designed in australia for the australian market. So GMs ideas of how american cars should be (cheap, broken and shoddy) didn't get so infused into the GTO. Not to mention the GTO is/was Holden's and Pontiac's "top of the line" so it got a bit more attention.

Say what you will about the exterior, but i've never sat in a car with better buckets.
