well my GP isnt my DD anymore...but I'll stick to the question in spirit.

there is a 2000 Chrysler 300M right across the street from me for sale.I wouldnt mind that

I also like the Dodge Charger or the Magnum with the 3.5 V6...both roomy,useful cars that still get decent mileage.

I could also dig a G6 GXP sedan with that hammerhead rear spoiler...sweet lookin ride.

In all seriousness I would probably go with the current generation Mustang GT, before Ford put the fake hoodscoops on them. One of those in silver or blue with the Bullitt rims would be sweet. Of course an actual Bullitt wouldn't be bad either...

If it had to be a little more practical I'd say an Acura TL Type-S in blue with the gunmetal rims. Not the new ones though the previous gen. In my opinion they're one of the best looking cars on the road and pretty quick too.

x2...but why can't a Corvette be a DD? It gets the best MPG of any engine it's size. I don't see why it can't be a DD. Now, an 8-sec car or something I could understand.

I always liked the mazda 6.

But i would go for something 4 cyl that gets good gas mileage if it was simply for a DD.

You know I started thinking. Did the OP mean now or what was your second choice when you bought the GP?

When I bought the GP I was really looking for any GM product that would seat five relatively comfy. Performance wasn't a must (I was trading in a Geo storm so anything was faster lol) Test drove a four door SE wasn't impressed with the power but it moved good and the wife found the front passenger side leg room lacking but livable. Then saw a beutiful blue two door with no price sat in it and the leg room felt better (not sure if the four doors lose some leg room or if the front seat on the four door couldn't get back far enough)

not part of the GP crowd yet but just though I needed to point out that I know 2 people with corvettes as daily drivers (98 and an 01) and 1 person with a lotus elise as a DD...

that is all.....

oh and I am fairly fond of Grand Nationals....
