Dumb question, but it does go to produciton issues. Were all trim lines made in the same plant? I know my 04 GXP was made in Hamtramick but were the SE and SLE trims also produced there? Someone tried to tell me that the GXP'* were made on a different line than other Bonnies. I know GM splits production for "specialty" or "performance" trims (for instance Cavalier and Sunfire Convertables used to be made in Lansing while all others in Ohio). Just wondering.

Those assembly plants moved. It would be date-related.

Ignore the repeats. None of them are pontiac plants.
