Fluid , I agree with change being good, but how old is the grand prix 5 years. Also is being competitive and at the front edge having 3 lines of vehicles amalgamated into a non-distinct single line with versions - "if you want a grand am with some grand prix buy this, if you want a bonneville with a grand am buy that ". I think if GM thinks that they need to be competitive should they not develop distict classes which will then attract various distinct groups? Also, why is it that when a drastic change comes along its always the body!? I think if GM slowly changed the body, eg got rid of the plastic WHILE revamping the engine. Even though Chrisler is not at all on my list of favs. it is a company that with nothing to loose in the late 80's came up with both inginious body and mechanical upgrades and new vehicles. GM with a nice following of Grand Prix enthusiasts should definitly look into that. Making a car look like something else and not something new is not a new rave - but then that's my two cents.
