I will be getting a 04 GTP or Bonneville. I hate to turn my car back into the dealer.

why you tradin your car back in? Is it off lease? If I didn't live far.. maybe.. hope you'll still stick around..

Why you lookin to trade up? and what do you want more out of your new car? Just seeing if there is some Gremlin or pet peeve bout the newer style bonnie.

Just out of curiosity (We could never afford it, I'm sure, and we have a 2000, so not much difference there), but what do you still owe?

And why would you want to trade so soon (and for a GP no less...I couldn't imagine making that switch now that I have truly llived )?

And to sort of help answer Drifter420'* question, I have no problem with the new style (I like the old too) other than the glovebox (daaaaamn it'* small and strangely positioned!). I love my '00!

Well.. the 04 GTP has the new Series III ( drive by wire ) but the only reason why I see they have a 20hp gain from the stock */C series II is cause they went to a bigger Supercharger M120 instead of M90 in series II. I would if it'* lease see if you can re lease it ( can probaly get a lower rate now since the car is older) and wait till the 2006 Bonnie GXP with the northstar V8. But to each their own

Hailey.. yea.. I did get a chance to test drive the new Bonnies.. and for some reason they seem to exhibit a bit more torque steer then mine ( personal perception ). And the glove box is funny.. small opening.. but deep.

I would love to get a Bonneville GXP, but it may not be in the budget. I might go for the 04 GTP with the Comp G package.

Can't a GP be had with a LS1 Competition Package? I thought I read something about this a while ago.
