Welcome.
I've had most people I know state they like the GXP style more then my old 97 GTP, I myself can't decide. I like them both.
I took mine to the local meeting place for the youngsters right after I got it Saturday and the one kid there with a 98 GT really liked the sound of the V8.
Is the only difference between the 05 and 06 GXP the location of the OnStar antennae?

I HAVEN'T SEEN AN 06 MODEL YET. THERE WEREN'T TOO MANY 05 MODELS WHEN I WAS LOOKING. WHERE ARE SOME GOOD PLACES TO GET AFTERMARKET PARTS FOR THESE CARS?

There seems to be no aftermarket parts available as yet. The only thing I really want is a drop in K&N filter anyway.
I wish I could have got an 05, with the discounts it would have saved me a few thousand I'm sure.
There were no incentives on mine, only 3.9% financing.

I'm thinking an after market catback is in my future. That would change peoples view of the car even more and add a few extra HP.
