The Pontiac GTO 2004-2006, a rebadged Aussie import, hit American shores with a roar reminiscent of its ’60s glory days. Powered by a 5.7L V8, it was less “muscle car” and more “muscle diplomat,” bridging automotive cultures.

With only 40,808 units sold, it seems American buyers were more smitten with the Mustang’s mane than this GTO’s growl.
