MMMMMM... GXP.... MMMMM...NICE!!!!

Gotta clean up my drool now. : :

Nice to see it without the cladding (the stuff that covers the car in spy shots). I see they went old school pontiac style with the shape of the grills (if they pulled out the nose a few inches). Any mechanical info on it?

GXP Boosts Grand Prix Profile

Pontiac's effort to boost the performance image of all its vehicles visits the Grand Prix next. The mid-size four-door will inherit a version of GM's 5.3-liter V-8, re-engineered for front-drive use, in the new Grand Prix GXP. In this installation it makes 290 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, and is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The GXP also gets 12 percent better fuel economy than it would without Pontiac's first use of Displacement on Demand, technology that shuts off a bank of cylinders under light driving loads. Pontiac pegs the 0-60 time for the GXP at roughly 6 seconds. New styling tweaks, including new front and rear fascias, 18-inch wheels, and new interior trim distinguish the model, for which pricing hasn't been announced. Sales begin in the first quarter of 2005.

Damn...that look good!

Wow, I didn't realize they would be releasing it as soon as first quarter 2005. Very sweet.

Imagine the mod possibilities now !!!!

I'm almost kinda sorry they changed the styling of the front fascia...I kinda liked the big round half/half lights in the new models...but thats a minor point, the hardware is what counts!...man geez!...all this new cool stuff keeps comin out...It makes it real hard to plan on modding and keeping your present ride!

Wow! Nice looks and a great "personality"
Hopefully they'll keep the price reasonable, or else that beast will just sit on a lot, getting lots of looks but no sales.

With the current price of a Comp G I'd put this in the same price range as the GTO. In all honesty how many adults can fit comfortably in a GP? Even with three kids in the back is a bit tight for them. If you have a family of four or less the GTO would be the better buy. Once this car is paid for I'll be lookin for a RWD performance car and once the Silverado is paid for I'll be lookin for a Suburban.

where did this pic come from? looks good to me.

Honeslty Herc -- It seems to me the GOAT has the same rear room as the 04+ GP. Other than the 4 doors - it is just as roomy

Im shocked.
290 HP comming from 5.3 V8??? The torque I can live with but only 290 HP? It could have went past the 300 mark at least.
If the GTO has this styling, I would get the Goat. Guess I'll just wait until the styling for it changes.

Doesn't the GTO have buckets in the rear? I'd think those would be more comfortable then the bench in the GP. Four doors I don't need. Kids are young they can climb past the B pillar and the door.


Ahhh yes it does.


and the GP

The GTO wins in the interior, for me.
