I stopped in at the Pontiac Dealer in Elk Grove, as it was next door to the Saturn dealer where I needed a $1.15 plastic fastener for my front chin/air dam. I had looked up the 350-hp 6-sp Pontiac GTO on the web. There it was, 1st car in the door, center stage showroom floor. Can't miss it, 1st thing you have to see when you enter. Now I now why I dont patronize GM if I can help it. $9,999 "Retail Value" charge - AKA Dealer Markup. The showroom was unattended as I looked around, and I could hear a loud, condescending voice raised at another. It was the manager talking down to his sales rep...... " I dont care if they come in here off the web and try to grind us down...... profit is not a four-letter word............I've got a 5-million dollar inventory...." <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Anyhow, I looked at the beast, the speedo goes to 200 mph <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> I'm looking for the sticker.........
%20 made in USA... WTF ? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Engine- USA Transmission - USA
Final Assembly - Holden,Australia. Is this related to an Isuzu ?
They actually ship 5.7L V-8s and 6-sp trannys to Australia, build em', then ship them back here ? Isn't that like the Cadillac Allantes, another GM masterpiece ? No wonder GM killed Isuzu off. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
