One of the greatest-- and most underrated-- sleepers ever.

Nothing sleeper about it. oO Unless you're deaf enough to not hear the sound coming out of the tail pipes and don't know what GTO means on a Pontiac (aka redressed Holden Monaro, not that that's necessarily a bad thing).

That said, style wise it's still a subtle, handsome car. But I wouldn't go so far as to say sleeper.

This final GTO's burble was delicious, but indeed if you either had the windows up, saw this car from a distance or didn't know what to listen for (a very common event these days), you won't know what this car really was. And because it *is* a Holden, and because its styling *is* so subdued and conservative, and esp. because it was a big old 2+2 and not something so blatantly speed oriented as say a Vette, it certainly qualifies as a sleeper. Most Americans would not have known what Holden was anyways when this thing first came out. I suspect the G8 educated them a bit more.
And I remember too well how all the baby boomers screamed bloody murder (esp. the twats who ran the magazines) because this final GOaT was not a total styling tribute to a '71 Judge, so they couldn't claim it as their new midlife-crisis Viagramobile.
I was going to issue a final reminder about badge engineering, and I want to remember that GM/Pontiac put those three capitol letters on underserving models after the Pony Car era had died, but I might be mistaken about fake GOaTs. I know other maqrues did it, but I can't firmly recall on *this* issue.

The right year, and the right colour. Haha.

Loving the shots mate.

One of my fav cars right here! So much want! =D
