Well I was talking about the base MSRP which was exactly $31,990 in 2006. The only options avaliable were: 1) 6 speed manual transmission -$695, 2) 18" aluminum 5 spoke painted wheels -$495. Even with both you are stull right at $33k.

The interior may be comfortable, but still not as good of quality as most european or asian cars of the same year in the same price range. A 06 Accord EX-L v6 has a much nicer interior than a 06 GTO. All the knobs and buttons are not cheap looking and feeling like pretty much all GM products. I have owned a few GM vehicles, and I can personally say that the interior doesn't even compare to most european/asian cars in the same price range.

I'm not trying to bash your car or anything, but thacker thinks that the GTO is the ultimate car for some reason. I was simply pointing out a few reasons why it is no better than the cars he was bashing.
