@@RareClassicCars “Carpenter” here.. I’ll second this. There’s sooooo much car content out in KZbin world. Most of it makes me cringe at how long it takes to hammer a car back to life during a “barn find”. An hour and a half? Test light on the points, file if necessary or replace.. fill the floats from a squirt bottle with a healthy shot down the throat, and send it. I digress. Nobody else is getting into this nuance, on cars that were once everyday, but are now largely forgotten. So, Adam thanks for bringing us strange, unique, and even quirky knowledge that nobody else does.

I had a 2005 GTO w/a 6 speed manual. It was a lot of fun, relatively cheap and had a more smooth, organic look than other Pontiacs from that era. There were several in my area, all different colors.

Also, putting the steering rack on a shelf below the windshield was just a brilliant idea, serviceability... is none. And Toyota amongst the others had come up with a similar design... Brilliant, let's just copy each other's engineering blunders untill all the cars end up... Wait, we're already there.

[@melvinharris7859]

@@harlequintheserpent7016 None of the stuff you brought up is exclusive to or started with round cars. The majority of the vehicles produced during the 1980s fit all of those descriptors. Take the General Motors X, A, J, and C-Body cars of the 1980s. Or take your pick from any Asian import of the time. Or the extremely successful and mass produced Chrysler K-Cars. All square designs. All with steering racks mounted behind the motor, low ground clearance, and limited suspension travel. Auto makers sold millions of these cars. Additionally, cars didn't get any more cramped inside when the round era of design came around, if anything it was the opposite, if you actually took the time to look at some interior measurement figures for various cars of the two eras. Take for example, a 1985 Chevrolet Cavalier, and a 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier. Two common mass produced GM vehicles of the eras. Both on the J-Body platform. One with square styling and one with rounded, aerodynamic styling. For the '95, we have 39" of front headroom, and 42.3" of front legroom. As well as 54.9" of front shoulder room. For the '85, we have 38.6" of front headroom, 42.2" of front legroom, and 53.7" of front shoulder room. The '95 is larger inside in every dimension. You'll find the more cars you look at, that this holds true for the vast majority of vehicles produced. It sounds to me like your issue is less so with round cars, and moreso with FWD cars, since all the stuff you listed is just stuff that most FWD cars suffer from, regardless of when they were made or what the exterior styling looks like. Both the two major RWD old-school cars of the square-car era continued to be produced into the 1990s with updated aerodynamic bodywork, all while gaining increased interior space and retaining the same long-travel suspension and the same ground clearance as older models. And a front-steer design. But I suppose I wasn't expecting much from the guy who is arguing in favor of square malaise era cars.

[@harlequintheserpent7016]

@@melvinharris7859 Sure as heck, that has more to do with the FWD layout than with the outer shell design. My bad for not putting the point, that malaise era boxes I was comparing LHs with were all RWD. Especially my favourites - the Panther platform, which, being born in malaise era, happily lived out of it to become a bit less anemic and be the last classic body-on-frame sedans in existence. Exception from the FWD rule I've encountered were the Toronados and the Rivieras, in them you seem to have all the space you want - and some extra. Gutless, characterless due to FWD, but, at least, your eyes didn't reside right in front of the windshield frame and the visor, like in Corvettes and T-birds.

A nice looking concept, but I doubt there was (or ever will be) a market hungry for a front wheel drive GTO. The '99 GTO concept looks like it morphed into the production '07 Camaro. Thanks Adam, great content as always!😁

[@michaelroberts6450]

this concept has a dodge stealth look to it that's what jumped out at me about it. The radius in the upper door is very distinctive like you pointed out, once people found out the 2004 GTO was a imported Australian design with Pontiac cosmetics it lost it's credibility with purists who had the money to afford it I would think. I remember in 1980's Pontiac did a SD4 powered Grand Am engineering exercise thought to possibly be the 1987 GTO. obviously it didn't come to fruition certainly because of the front wheel drive aspect it also being a 4 cyl. didn't help either. It made 300hp If I remember correctly.

[@zlinedavid]

I never understood the “loss of credibility” because it was a rebadged Monaro. So what? GM actually sold the Monaro under the Chevrolet badge in the Middle East for awhile. It’s a rear drive LS-powered coupe. Does it really matter that it was an Aussie design?

[@kurtcounty8703]

[@AlexanderWaylon]

I think it’s a great looking car for that time, but I think that traditionalists would have fell over and got up screaming “what a disgrace” and knowing GM of the time, top engine probably would have been a 2.8. It’s probably best that they had not produced this car and called it a GTO. They could have produced it and called it something else I’m sure it would have done extremely well.

[@Jack_Stafford]

Ahoy Adam! I've never seen this concept! I really enjoy the "optimistic future" designs of the 80s, and the first car this one reminded me of was the super sleek, Saturn SC1 coupe. Always thought they were cool, kinda small, but offered great looks of a Firebird-type car for guys with a tight budget on a 7/8ths scale. Never was able to own one, but admired them, and their later innovative 3rd "half door" to make access to the rear easier. Saturn deserves a series I think, made some real innovations when GM could still afford to experiment, and I was sad to seem them go away before I was able to join the "cult" of Saturn that Gm created, with its annual customer picnics, unique dealership structure, etc. I really thought GM was reinventing both the car and sales experience, and I think, it was in fact better! If Saturn had been allowed to grow and mature like Kia, Hyundai have, imagine what great cars they would be building today. Thanks again for your rare photos and info and thoughtful insights!

[@rickbledsoe5064]

The tan Granville in your video is nice.

[@vintagemotelguest]

Thanks, Adam, for introducing us all to a GTO I for one at least had never heard of. Interesting that it probably could have made the show car circuit but Pontiac did not choose that for this design study. The "Talon" comment from Canadian Guy is certainly right and also a bit of the Saturn Coupe, but in general the upper very much reminds of the upcoming 4th-Gen F-bodies, specifically Camaro's all-tinted-appearing canopy, with a bit of the Firebird's non-Trans Am nose. Regarding the side-sculpturing, I've always thought that employing that lower-center coke-bottle-emphasizing sculpture on the production Firebird -- taken almost directly from the purple 1992 Corvette Stingray III concept, btw -- really added some surface excitement to that car, and I love looking at mine, even with the ten feet of front overhang that the Corvette concept avoids completely. Interesting that you can always tell a RWD car from FWD, even when the F-bodies design moved a bit cab-forward.

[@vintagemotelguest]

Yes ----- I am replying to my own comment but I cannot stop saying it! Stingray III, Stingray III, Stingray III: the concept that could have and should have guided BOTH the Corvette and Camaro design programs into gorgeous and affordable genuine sports/GT cars!

[@bryanashmus418]

Adam - I tend to agree with you that this likely would have bombed in the sales department....what's interesting to my eye is this 1988 concept gives the feel of what became the 1993 F-Body cars, the angular openings in the front, corner wrap around taillights, outside rear view mirror cut....also the 1999 concept, which I do remember seeing, sems to push some of the the most recent Camaro re-introduction what about a dozen years ago, especially in that rear quarter panel and the angular appearance on the front of the car.

You can't change the past but imagine if modern day Buick and Cadillac started making their own versions of the Corvette and Camaro.

[@robertdragoff6909]

If the GTO was a package for the Tempest, why not a package for the Firebird? I know, I know , it wouldn’t be the same, but that car was the last rear wheel drive platform, so repackaging it wouldn’t be a problem…. The only other car that could get a GTO package would be the Grand Prix, and maybe with some tweaking it might worked….. But it’s too late since Pontiac is no more.

[@JacobPaul-ix7oc]

It should have been a package for the Grand Prix, in my opinion. Why make yet another option for the Firebird when you have the base, Formula and Trans-Am? Another option would have been to make it a package for the G6 coupe and convertible, which are both nice looking cars in my opinion. (The sedan not so much.) It's sad the G6 coupe was downgraded so much from its initial concept that had a supercharged 3.5 V6 pushing 285 hp and 272 ft lb torque.

[@pattschetter]

I like the orange concept, but I'm on record as liking my 2005 Dodge Dakota that also had some boogie to it. I agree with everyone getting Stealth/3000, Eclipse/Talon and 4th-gen F-body vibes from the yellow concept. If they'd produced the yellow car it'd probably have been on my list of possibilities for my first new-ish and not-a-hand-me-down car in ~1998.

[@howebrad4601]

To me they missed the boat not sticking with a slightly smaller sporty car to compete with celica, 240sx, dodge stealth, talon, eclipse size and style. I think thats what was wrong with the last camaro in that it was just too big, tall, heavy looking. This yellow car really reminds me of an eclipse, and some features made it to production, such as the beretta wheels, mid 90s firebird fascia. Great video as always. Sure miss cars that had some style and theme, instead of the chunky blob stying of 90 percent of current crossovers. Oh and color too!!! Labelling it GTO would have been big mistake. Why always look backwards for inspiration, more forward would be better. True gto would be a grand am with supercharged 3800

[@rpsmith2990]

If they could have built this, I'd have bought it, if they named it something else. GM at the time was completely incapable of getting as close to their concept cars as Chrysler was. A good example would be how the '93 Monte Carlo concept became the '96 production Monte Carlo. It had a few design elements of the concept, like the full width panel for the tail lights, but it was heavily watered down. If they did that to this concept, and sold it as a GTO, it would have been a travesty and to many, a heresy. GM at the time count not have built this exact car if their lives depended on it. I had forgotten about this, thanks for bringing it to me light again.

[@Slowgroovin]

Not sure about the GTO, but the proposed 1990 V8 Fiero would've been great.

[@AtomicBuffalo]

So was the thinking that this GTO would replace the two-door Grand Am when that model was upsized in 1992, a la Beretta/Corsica? Or was it thought to stand apart as something sportier-yet or just differently styled than the Grand Am GT? Or were they still considering holding the Grand Am to its smaller size in the next gen? Or was this just a styling diversion, or trial balloon to gauge the future utility of the GTO name?

[@domenicogaldo6065]

I love this design; maybe GM could have produced it thru another of it´s other divisions if it wasn´t to the taste of Pontiacistas.

[@tocsa120ls]

The orange one is too 'out there' but the yellow one should've been made with a minimal tone-down.

[@johnnymason2460]

This looks like what the 1993 Firebird eventually became. No one was going to accept this as a GTO. Certainly not a FWD GTO.

[@19chucki74]

With you mentioning that it was designed on the same platform as the Beretta, this concept study would have NOT been a legitimate GTO. Maybe the moniker 2+2 would have worked, but not GTO. And I sincerely hope that GM is considering, or probably in the process of, bring back Pontiac, as it's performance brand. It didn't deserve being axed over 15 years ago.

[@bitrage.]

The 88 concept gto looks very similar to the 91 dodge stealth (3000gt underpinnings)

[@ottopartz1]

It looks like a big brother of the Saturn line from that era. Plus knowing GM the top motor would have been the series II 3.8 or maybe if we were super lucky a 3.8 with the Eaton supercharger. Most would have probably gotten the 2.8. FI. I really don't think that GM would have done the GTO name justice during that period.

[@manoahvanderwolf3259]

never saw this before, interestingly enough. i don't dislike it though, but it doesn't breathe Pontiac GTO. somehow, it breathes oldsmobile, saturn or buick. it might lean a bit towards Buick Riviera, but not really. I loved the orange GTO concept, i wish they did something proper with it, same goes for the Pontiac G8 GXP, which with a little proper body work from an italian design firm or BMW design firm could have been restyled to look more like a proper GTO, as long as it also had the motor to lean into.

The 442 was a G-body. A GTO on this body would have had some good street cred except that by that time Pontiac no longer produced a V8 engine. A GTO with a Chevy small block (like the Monte Carlo SS) would probably have been a hard sell to the Pontiac fans.

[@michaelbrown5601]

This concept closely resembles the Mitsubishi GTO/Dodge Stealth which was in the pipeline in 1988. I don’t think the concept would’ve worked well with impact bumpers and other MVSA requirements, given its amorphous nature. Glad the wheels made it through, however 😊
