From all I've heard the GTO is a very nice car indeed. It just has typical Pontiac tack-on-some-plastic-pooe styling and is about 10K more expensive than the Mustang; which I imagine is the real problem. Doesn't hurt that the new Mustang is actually quite stunning; on looks alone, it kicks the GTO's butt, never mind that it's less expensive too.
Personally, I actually *like* the GTO - since it looks like a tarted-up Grand Prix it's practically invisible on the road, despite all its plastic geehaws. IMHO that's a Good Thing but some people would rather be noticed. But I'm not going to buy one because it's way out of my price range; I probably could afford a new Mustang though if I decided I needed a new car.
Cadillac and... um... yeah.
It's a fact that GM has higher costs per unit than their foreign compebreastion due to pension, healthcare etc. I don't know how Holden compares to GM in the US. I do know that GM has a large product line most of which makes me yawn. (and the cars that do interest me apparently make the general public yawn)
