Just doing some detective work....

also www.gminsidenews.com

Oh BABY!! Looks really great. Anyone notice the drilled rotors? Time for a test drive!!

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...

its just too grand dam good lookin... .

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.

The 5.3 is not a Northstar. Northstars are OHC engines. Also take a look at GMs plans for the future.

As found from gminsidenews.com

G8- Large RWD Sedan based of Zeta Platform with debut around 2007/08. Will be powered by both a 3.9L V6, and 5.3/6.0L V8's. Replacement for the Bonneville, and possibly the Grand Prix
Grand Prix- The Grand Prix will receive a GXP version in late MY 2005 as a 2006 model. It will be powered by a 280-300 HP 5.3L LS4 powertrain. unfortunately, the 4 speed automatic transmission will remain until 2007 (at the earliest) when it is replaced by a 6 speed automatic. Also, the current 3800 engine series will be discontinued in 2006/07, replaced by the 240 hp 3.9L V6. In 2008, the Grand Prix will either be replaced by the G8 sedan, or carry on along side it.

i will shed a tear when they retire the grand prix ...

i love the car and the history it has . it will be missed

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.
