This is the sportiest version of Opel's best-selling mid-size sedan, using a 252-hp, turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 engine (a derivation of the Cadillac CTS's base engine) mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Opel claims a top speed of 161 mph, which is none too shabby for a family sedan, as well as 0-to-60-mph acceleration in less than seven seconds. more

The new Goat has been a dog so far, as sales of the Holden-sourced Pontiac GTO are running at less than half of expectations. Most people chalk that up to its yawn-'n'-stretch styling and too-high-for-punks price, but maybe this car just has the wrong name. Real GTOs sacrifice civility to the gods of V-8 hooliganism.
