Hey guys, Im trying to decide what color to get for my GTO. Went to the Pontiac dealer yesterday and took pics of the Goat I want. What do you think about this color?

Take a hint from your diff fluid....get the purple.

Oops.....sorry......I noticed they dropped purple and yellow this year. ( they shouldn't have ). Since you want opinions, mine is to get the copper-orange then.

They had Purple? Yellow is way too loud in NYC.. Might be mistaken for a cab. The dust orange does look good.. Real sleeper.

That copper orange looks hot. Much cooler than the blue ,yellow, red or black that everyone else has.

I have yet to see one in blue.
Black has always been a favorite of mine.

Yes. Dark purple.....with matching purple gauges inside.....was an option on the 2004 GTO...I'm not sure about last year's. It was the same color seen on a number of other Pontiacs.....and Chevies.

The blue is nice, but nothing special. My friend has an '04 in blue and he had rally stripes painted on it. I think the blue/black trimmed interior looks sweet though.

Another buddyof mine has the Sonic Blue on his '05 Mustang GT and it's much cooler looking.

If the GTO was offered in a dark blue metallic that would be my first choice.

Here are the official factory colors for the 2006 GTO. See if this blue is dark enough for you.

Eh, none of the 06 available colors are too appealing to me.
Black would be my choice out of the 06 if I was certain I had to have a GTO.

Black with a red interior looks good Reminds me of the M3... so does the blue

I can't tell if that's the same blue as before or darker...looks nice but I was talking about a midnight blue.

I kinda like that Spice Red...it almost looks pink-ish though.

None of the colors are really bad at all - I personally just prefer a color that not many people have.

Do they still make that car?? I think I've seen 1 on the road around here in the last 3 years. I know that some Pontiac dealers still have brand new 04 leftovers.

In that case go with the copper ( Brazen ) orange.......it is the most uncommon and distinctive color still left in the GTO palate.

The GTo's are rare in NYC too. Guess a lot of people are unaware of what lies beneath the skin. Something really potent.
