Bob Kraut, GTO Marketing Director from Pontiac, is pictured here in front of the 1967 GTO hardtop from the xXx movie. He spoke about the GTO during the 2004 GTO sneak preview released on the xXx action movie. Here's what he had to say,
"The GTO came out at a time that was a very special period of American culture. It was a time of boundless possibilities and a lot of optimism in our country. And it was a vehicle that was in the right place at the right time. It was a great looking vehicle. It was a great performing vehicle. What made it so special is that it really defined the muscle car era. Pontiac will introduce an all-new GTO later this year - later in 2003. And it's going to have the same bad-ass attitude as the car being drove in the movie. But it's not going to look like that car. It's not going to be a retro car. But it will have awesome performance characteristics, well over 300 horsepower, faster than any other production GTO that we sold. And also, the car is going to have awesome handling capability. I think that if xXx has this car to drive in the movie, he'd have an easier time dodging the bullets."
The car you see in the background appears to be the one that Pontiac toured with in the summer of 2002. It was better-looking than the xXx stunt cars seen on ebay and elsewhere. This car had a nicely finished interior. I saw it at Norwalk, Ohio during the Ames event. It was traveling with a display that included a Vin Diesel van with bold graphics. The van can be seen on the righthand side of the photo. The van has a picture of the GTO on it.

1972gtoguy: Well I'm not knocking the New GTO but had they did do some sorta 'retro' styling on the 04-06 GTO's they might still be making and selling them. The 2004 GTO's are almost worthless now. I just saw one in the local paper with 13k [miles] going for 12.5k WTF?!? Thanks G.M.
Evan Scott: Look at it this way - you get 350 horses for 12 grand. Maybe 400 if you get lucky with the 05 and 06. Personally, I like the way they look, but I do wish they'd go retro with it.
