2005 GTO Arrives In Dealers, On DVD In December

The Last Ride Makes Broadcast Television Debut

DETROIT - The first 2005 GTOs are scheduled to arrive at select Pontiac dealers by the end of December, but interested customers can get a sneak peak at the new model on the DVD release of The Last Ride, the USA Network original film starring Dennis Hopper, Chris Carmack and both classic and modern GTOs.

The DVD will be at video stores on Tuesday, December 21. The movie will also air on Saturday, December 11, at 8 p.m. EST on the NBC television network.

"Since early summer and the original airing of the film on USA Network television, we've seen interest in the 2004 GTO steadily increase," said Dino Bernacchi, Pontiac advertising manager. "The DVD release of The Last Ride gives us the opportunity to celebrate the heritage of the classic GTO while providing behind-the-scenes information about the enhanced power and styling options available in the 2005 model."

Additional information about The Last Ride, and the 2005 GTO, can be found at a special Pontiac web site at www.pontiac.com/thelastride. In addition to cast bios and production stills, visitors can also register to win several prizes, including the grand prize of a new 2005 GTO and a walk-on role in an upcoming USA Network movie production.
