Grand Prix GXP is finally born
Hey guys. I want to start this thread because something unusual happened this week.
First, one of my co-workers told me that he saw a Grad Prix GXP. It was parked on the side of the freeway with its hazard flashers on. He pulled over and took a closer look. He noticed the unusual rims and inside, it had a GXP logo/emblem. He said that it had "that cool blue color".
So, I come home, go at the pontiac web site, and there is the GP GXP! Although, the pricing is not available yet, they have some pics. Notice the rims, grille, and that huge port hole.
But how can a GXP be on the roads so early??? Could it be some kind of a test?

The GXP mission was clear: to create a new performance standard for FWD sport sedans. The all-new 303 hp 5.3L LS4 V8 uses "Displacement on Demand" (DOD) technology to deactivate half its cylinders at cruise for exceptional fuel economy. Yet an assertive thrust to the drive-by-wire throttle yields confident passing power and 0-60 times of under six seconds.
