In 6th by 40 ? wow, that's way too low if you ask me. 60 is the
low-end of using 6th, 70 or higher is best.

Thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth.  Several months ago GM had a
"driver expo" at the closed down El Toro (CA) Marine base where you could
drive their cars as well as some competitors'.  I did drive a GTO and was
pleased, but not excited.  When I got in my '90 LX 5.0 Hatch it dawned on me
that the only difference was a nicer interior and $30,000 cash.  For that
kind of money I would like a little more style (although not like the picnic
basket handle on the Neon SRT-4) and having the dual exhausts exiting one on
each side instead of together on the left side.

So if I were to replace the LX today, it would be a Dodge Magnum Hemi (would
rather wait for the SRT-8 version with 426 Hemi and equal horsepower)
because its got power and is practical (can haul a Christmas tree home just
like the LX).

From the Chicago Tribune:

GTO's sales performance gets Pontiac's goat

Published June 2, 2004

There are a few red faces at General Motors.

In the first four months of this year, sales of the Pontiac Aztek
sport-utility vehicle, considered by many the most gosh-awful-looking
vehicle on the planet, totaled 7,416 units, down from 11,311 a year
earlier.

But the countdown to Aztek obscurity is not what's causing the red
faces.

In the same period, sales of the Pontiac GTO totaled 2,800 units,
meaning Aztek outsold the highly touted performance coupe by more than
2 1/2-1.

GTO is derived from the rear-wheel-drive Monaro produced by GM's
Holden operations in Australia.

Even before GTO went on sale in late December, critics complained that
the styling was plain and not suited to a nameplate that kicked off
the muscle-car era in the 1960s.

While Pontiac is considering styling tweaks on future models to soothe
the critics, it insists that as many people like the look as object to
it and that styling isn't what held back sales.

"While we'd always like to sell more, we haven't been disappointed
with GTO sales so far," Pontiac spokesman Tom Beaman said.

Not disappointed though Pontiac forecast sales of 16,000 to 18,000
units a year and is on target to sell only about 7,400?

But then, GTO was meant less as a styling exercise than a performance
statement with its 5.7-liter V-8 that produces a potent 350
horsepower.

Beaman cites a winter launch of a rear-wheel-drive performance car as
one reason for slow early sales in the Northern states.

Of course, you have to ask, why in the name of all that's holy would
anyone introduce a rear-wheel-drive performance car in the dead of
winter in the North?

But then, if anyone knew the answer to that question, they'd know why
7,416 bought the most gosh-awful-looking vehicle on this planet in the
first four months of this year.

Another problem, Beaman says, is that Pontiac held to its commitment
to supply each of Pontiac's more than 2,700 dealers with a GTO to use
as a "halo" vehicle to attract folks into showrooms.

Those halos helped Pontiac sell 16 percent more cars in the period,
though few of them GTOs.

He also said that while the GTO didn't fare too well in the Snow Belt
over the winter, it's done well in Southern California, where Pontiac
is traditionally weak. There, more than 40 percent of GTO sales are
conquests--captured from rival brands--so more GTOs will be shipped
there.

Pontiac is also counting on "The Last Ride," a made-for-TV movie that
airs Wednesday on the USA Network, to raise awareness of the GTO.

Pontiac struck a product-placement deal to feature the GTO in the
film.
