Yeah!! That looks pretty good, wouldn't mind the whole car sitting another inch or 2 in the air but otherwise, not bad. I want to see what the coupe version looks like, I want to see them bring back the old door handle style, like on the 92-96 GPs. I think it started in 92 anyway. I think that'd give the car more of a smooth look on the sides.

I think it's the Grand Prix's last hoorah.
Atleast they're letting her go out the way she should, V-8 with RWD.

I think subscribers get their copies first, then a couple of weeks later it'll hit the news stands.
Notice on the cover, "October 2006"

Looks like they are following the path of the Chrysler 300. I'd say it looks like a direct competitor; V8, RWD, big sedan.

I had read in High Performance Pontiac that Pontiac was looking into producing a new generation of V-8, rear drive performance cars, said to include a Grand Prix/Bonneville sedan, a new GTO, and possibly the Firebird. If that Grand Prix does go into production, I wouldn't sweat that front end too much; most people will be seeing its tail lights...

A new GP and Bonnevile, that'd be nice. I like the Bonnevile look on the older cars so if it's based off of that, I'd be happy...mmmm...2 door GP and 4 door Bonneviles...mmm

I think the Commodore/GP looks kinda short. I would like if they brought the longer version as a GP, not a Bonny. I just like big cars though. I think my next car is gonna be a Cadillac, probably an STS or a DTS. Presidential style. But if they make the Holden Caprice as a GP, I would seriously consider getting that. Just my 2 cents.

Awesome! I was thinking of getting a 2007 GXP but damn... this looks sweet. I may have to wait and see if Pontiac will really release this for the 2008 model year.
