i wanted to take it for a spin but (since i was definately not in the buying status) i did not want to waste the dealership'* time. Also, they only had one on the sales floor - i am sure i would have had to be really serious to get a ride.

Anyways, i sat in in it and it felt much like the GP, only smaller (maybe this was my imagination being a Bonne owner). Same sport stying, but not the (dare i say it) luxury of a Bonneville.

The specs on the performance look great but i don't know if i like it.

WHY O WHY can't they:

1 - put more power in the Bonneville'*
2 - make them Rear wheel drive (i think the Monte Carlo'* are)
3 - Put MORE POWER in the Bonne!

Love the concept, hate the styling.

Not many people here like the Styling, and don't think they're that fast, but they'll run mid to upper 13'* stock on the M6 tranny.

I'd take the GTO interior over any bonnie (especially the 00+). It'* pretty damn good. I'll be looking for an 05 GTO or so in 5 years (i hope). Either that or a later Firehawk. It'* LS1 power that turns, not as straight line as a late F body, but it'll outhandle any pony car available till now around 30k.

Driveline in a Bonnie? I'd prefer it in a 2 door coupe personally, but an LS1 makes any car worthy!

Wish they would put that engine(AND 6-Speed) in the Bonneville with rear wheel drive

Bring back those thrilling days of yesteryear......when you could order a Bonneville with a big block and a 4-Speed manual tranny to GO!

they actually made one into a drift car and it whooped major A$$. pretty cool too. but yeah i would love my bonnie with a V8 and RWD

What is it that you have against the 00+??? i believe you have besmirched my vehicle year several times now. What'* up with that??

He is just jealous of the powa

I like the GTO, but like others I think it could have been a little faster and have more distinctive styling. But overall its an alright car to look at, but never gave one a drive... yet.

Yeah I'd like to know whats wrong with the 00+ Bonnies? They are slightly heavier than pre 2000, but all the power is still there. To me they look bad@$$ with an aggressive performance styling, which is what 92-99 don't really have. I mean come on, look at my signature picture! Does it look scary? Heck, it looks like an old man who tells stories of walking uphill through 5 feet of snow all year to and from school for 4 hours a day. However this old man shoots young kids with a double-barrel shotgun while skydiving in a speedo.

AMEN!! :P Well said Allmachtige!

Sorry, but i really think the 92-99'* do not have the style of the 00'*. Everytime i see one of the pre 00'* on the street i expect to see "blue" hair behind the wheel.

Sorry, it'* nothing personal, they have lots of cool new features, but In my mind, nothing'* better just because it'* newer. I don't like many new cars. They don't look like a natural car, They look like a space shuttle. There'* not much of a front bumper on the SSEi, and the front of the SE is all flat looking IMO. The GXP is done much better I think.

The seats don't hold you nearly as well, they don't have the side bolstering of a 92-99 ride. And I don't like the newer pontiac dashes. I don't like the 97-03 Grand Prix dashes either. It'* just not what I want in an interior. I'd rather have an 04 GP or GTO interior over the 00 Bonneville, or 97 gen GP.

I'm just an old fasioned guy. I like things that are built, i don't like tons of crazy electronics, i like Needles. I like exhaust roar over */C whine, (even though that may be added to mine). I'd prefer a much older muscle car, or something RWD, but i live in MN, and we have winters, and I need big reliability.

My favorite body is the 92-95 SSE body. Sorry if you don't like it, but get over it! Why does it matter what I like? I've driven 00+ that are amazing. Rogue'* hauls like nothing else, and you don't even realize it till you look down. They're great cars, and i'm not trying to take anything away from you or your car.
