Heres part of the 94 review (WHERE'* THE 93'*!?!?!?!)
Yep they hit that right on the head...
That'* cool though... Damn these were expensive new!
An additional set of stereo controls was mounted on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. This might be handy for the easily distracted driver, but the buttons felt flimsily mounted and seemed easily breakable
Tech-heads and power junkies will definitely get pumped up over the Sharper Image electronics and the passing-lane muscle offered by the SSEi Supercharger package. And those who revel in sporty amenities will appreciate the SSE'* on-the-prowl stance and stylish decorative flourishes. But family types who blanch at the $30,000-plus top price can save themselves about $4,600 by forgoing the Supercharger package, the leather seats, the power sunroof and the pricey option group we chose. Either way, the SSE continues to give Pontiac an edge over its competition in the luxury sport-sedan market.

It'* weird how the GP'* are more expensive used on average, even though they are less for retail. Then there is crap like old jettas that were prob around $20k, and still go for about $8k.... Even the old ones!

We found our 205-hp normally aspirated version of this engine to be more than adequate to propel the Bonneville into socially irresponsible territory.

2.97 rear-axle ratio (compared to 2.84 in the non-supercharged edition)
