Thank God the PT is not an Option
Otherwise Jim might be tempted to vote for it, twice, on this poll, article, and slideshow on a baker's dozen of America's worst cars. I actually sort of liked the pacer when I was a little kid, but what does a 10 year old know anyway?
And I'm old enough to remember some of the later cars when they were new, and the automotive press was singing a different tune back then. It's funny how a journalist's attitude will change 180 degrees when the guys buying advertising aren't selling a particular product anymore. Consumer Reports may be reactionary and deeply in love with soulless Asian cars, but at least you can trust them.
i saw that slideshow too. i think some of my friends were mad that the GTO was on that list.

i think thats a good article. and since we cant get into email here...i had to post it myself
Posted by: Nina on November 26, 2002 11:12 AMThe GTO they're referring to was just very sad decal package in 1974. Nothing like the glory days of the 60s. If your friends actually *saw* one of them they'd be made Pontiac put the GTO name on it.
And I'm not at all certain we'll be making the trip up there. The snow forcast keeps getting bigger. It'll be a fun fight tonight.
Posted by: scott on November 26, 2002 11:12 AMHah, ellen's gunna argue and yell...get the headphones ready and have some good music prepared so you can drown her out...
and i didnt say that. even though im sure she'll be reading this anyways.
Posted by: Nina on November 26, 2002 11:22 AMSadly, headphones are not an option. A large glass (or two) of chardonnay is though, which is even better!
Posted by: scott on November 26, 2002 11:27 AMFrom what I've read, it's not a BAD car, just an UGLY one..... so I'm not sure it would go on this list.....
Posted by: Jim S on November 26, 2002 12:46 PMI love GTO's but the 1974 GTO was the worst ever, but I remember there was a midsize in the 90's they brought out with a GTO option... That one sucked ass too...
Posted by: Dave W. on November 26, 2002 03:01 PMI'm with Jim on the PT...
Had to vote for the Gremlin, though. Ewww!
