S. , however, love for the GTO is still strong, and with the retro-mod movement on the rise, you never know when somebody else is going to rebody a new Camaro as a classic GTO, like the 6T9 Judge by the Trans Am Depot (above). What Launched the GTO Into Stardom?Helping to launch the new Pontiac GTO in 1964 was a comparison test performed by Car & Driver magazine that was orchestrated by Pontiac PR man Jim Wangers. The GTO did surprisingly well against a Ferrari 250 GTO, mostly because Wangers had substituted the standard 389ci V-8 for a souped-up
421ci ringer engine, resulting in one of the fakest car magazine cover blurbs of all time: "Tempest GTO: 0-to-100 in 11. 8 sec. " The trick worked, and sales of the nascent Pontiac muscle car soared. To the kids growing up in a postwar America, a car priced ($2,491 base MSRP) and equipped (325 hp) like the GTO seemed like a dream come true. The Pontiac GTO’s Many NicknamesAnimals figure strongly in the GTO's history, with the first round of propaganda in 1964 pushing a tiger theme, a la "GTO Tiger," with the first portion frequently lettered as "GeeTO. " On the street, the GTO's letters, rearranged to produce a malapropism, suddenly became "goat," which is fine for the car's proponents, because the acronym GOAT is often used to mean the "greatest of all time. " The GTO initialism was also mangled to form "the Great One," a nickname also shared with Jackie Gleason, who ironically starred opposite a Firebird in one of Pontiac's biggest PR victories, the movie Smokey and the Bandit. "The Humbler" nickname for the GTO came in
1970 and was also engineered by Pontiac's public relations department.
[82] In contrast, David Opie of Radio Times felt that the anime had changed its content and
impact compared to its premiere episode, writing: "the show no longer stands out as
unique in the same way that the first episode did.

[100][101] Neither Akasaka nor the anime's production team commented on the similarity, and some viewers commented that the manga chapters on which the episode was based were planned prior to Kimura's passing. [102] Kimura's mother, professional wrestler Kyoko Kimura, criticized the episode for the similarity, saying that she did not approve of the case "being used like free source material" by the anime writers. Kimura further stated that she felt the topic was portrayed with no consideration for real-life cyberbullying victims. [102][103][104] The series' English licensor, Sentai Filmworks, added an advisory message to the end of the episode providing the phone number to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline on its streaming service, Hidive.
