Boy it appears the Employee Discount is working.
You'd be able to GIVE me a GTO I suppose.
Then I wouldn't mind taking it into the shop all the time, and losing a boat load of cash come time to sell it or trade it in.
I speak from experience.

Ok, so the GTO is the only car that loses a boat load of cash when you trade it in? Right...no car is going to be worth anywhere near it's initial value when you try to get rid of it, this goes for any car
Also, what kind of problems did you have with your GTO? Also, what year is it? I'm curious to know.

Nothing depreciates more than an American car.
Sorry truth.

Go for it... just remember that it's still a Pontiac. Of the three Pontiacs my dad has had for a business car, all three have turned to crap within three years.

I have a Pontiac that is 18 years old with 140k miles on it, and it runs great. The car has been bulletproof in the 6 years I've had it.
I'd get the GTO over the BMW, if it were my choice. Repairs on any BMW will be very expensive, and the GTO can be had for much less, with more options.

Not thinking about the Mustang GT at all?
Not at all. I drove the V6 variety (rental car) recently, and HATED it.
Did you test drives all the car in this price range and narrowed down to these 2 choices?
No. I tend to buy somewhat on impulse, and on styling. I like the body styles of these two cars, but not, for example, that of the Maxima or the 350Z. Back in 2000-2004, I leased a Grand Am GT, and really liked the car, and from what I've seen so far, the GTO is superior.

Have you actually driven a GTO? I test drove one recently and was fairly unimpressed with it. See my review here.
I've owned BMWs and I've driven the GTO. I am not overly impressed either one quite frankly. The 330Ci is a really nice car with a great chassis and decent power, but it is expesive and expensive to repair. The GTO is a heavy brute of a car with lots of power but a mediocre chassis. The BMW is very refined and the GTO is totally unrefined. Two completely different cars.
Drive both and then choose. Don't go by what your neighbor says or what the morons here who've never driven either car tell you though.
Just out of curiousity, why not look at the Inifiniti G35 coupe?

I have read your review, and I've driven both the GTO and the 330Ci (and liked them both). From a gut feel standpoint, the GTO is more "me" than the BMW.
Just so I don't Syringer you all: I am buying the GTO (black w/black interior, 6-speed, with 18" chrome alloys). Today. I take delivery on it tomorrow..
