“To my understanding, the Holden Caprice (nice American name, there, lol) actually will make it to the US market, as a Pontiac.”
Given the GTO flop, that surprises me.
The GTO “flop” was entirely due to a marketing campaign that was nothing short of a disaster. The *car* itself was great and got glowing reviews.
I went to buy one, but the GM “buying experience” ran me off.
I don't know about mechanically but the GTO looks more like a Mitsubishi than the 67 GTO I dreamed of having as a teenager.
