Me too --- oh wait my 3year old does climb in -- he plays like he is a Commando getting into a stealth car and as you can see from the pics the interior room is about the same... This is why I love my GOAT -- true 2x2 seating unlike the T/A,Camaro,Rustang or even the G35 coupe which I have terrorized more than once.

I saw the pic first on gminsidenews.com - I agree that it should be more than 290 hp and less than "roughly 6 seconds" in the 0-60. With a little modding we can get below that already. Since this baby's got a V8 under the hood, they should easily be able to get her in the mid to high 5's.
IMO though...

Yea the styling is really good but I wouldn't buy it.
I mean there are some 3.x natually aspired stock V6s that can hit these numbers. And the engine is relatively huge 5.3 liters and this is the best it can get?? This is slightly depressing. How is it going to compete? Loyalists may start to churn away after a few years.
No replacement for displacement? Try no substitution for engineering evolution.
Also in general, I prefer FWD but V8 FWD seems odd.

yeah that bonneville gxp is a nice looking vehicle also, even though i cannot afford to buy a bonny the fact that the gxp comes with a v-8 (northstar) that so far i have not heard of any motor mods to make her a true go-go bonny i would be kinda shy to make a purchase.

I will be happy I like the direction pontiac is going if they would have painted the mirrors on the G6 would have been better

the tailend of the 04's isnt the same as the grand prix's i grew up with. its just not the gp look. the front end i can deal with but not the tail end. they need to keep to the old school from 97 to 03 tail ends!!!

I believe they changed the tail end to update it to the new trend of styling i.e. High end.
It seems most manufactures are just following the Altima's styling.
