Pontiac GTO
People want Pontiac back and that’s no secret. But what the brand became a mere shadow of what it once was in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The last incarnation of the GTO drivers got was a paltry example of what the car once was. The Pontiac GTO that hit the market in 2004 was simply a rebadged Holden model. There wasn’t much to like about it but consumers wanted the GTO back again. Now that Pontiac has been discontinued, enthusiasts miss the old version of the brand and there is a lot of potential for another GTO (via Inside Hook).
The GTO was the most influential muscle car of all time and it left an indelible mark on the industry. An EV GTO would be the perfect competition for the Mustang EV and the Challenger EV, which will both eventually hit the market. The Pontiac brand can focus on one or two models, like the relaunched Hummer brand. With the future of electric vehicles getting brighter and brighter, the GTO has the potential to make a big comeback.
