my point be proven thank you sir, while i agree with many of the opinions that the bonne dirve train is getting outdated, and the interior could use some fixing up, why does the bonne get such poor ratings.............i will tell you why, "becasue it comes from Detroit"

Hey nicky,
take your ill-informed, ignorant, indefensible, and WRONG political bullshit and shove it up your ***.
I'm sick to death of hearing this crap from republicans about liberal this and liberal that.
The republicans have done a real good job of running the country, huh? That'* why we have a bigger deficit than ever in our history, less than ten years after we had a $4,000,000,000 surplus? That'* why our schools are cutting their curriculums to the bone? That'* why gas prices are higher than they've been since the 70s? That'* why inflation is out of control right now?
Tell me again why we invaded Iraq? WMDs? Nukes? SCUDs?
(Yes, I support our troops, but we should never have gone into Iraq, we already had too much on our hands in Afganistan, and Iraq couldn't hurt us or our allies)

Mods, Admins, you need to start cracking down on offensive political BS like this guy is spouting.
Let'* keep this forum free of the kind of infighting that made me leave Columbus Racing.

P.*. Mods, if you feel the need to delete this post, then please do me the favor of removing the entire thread. I will not have my views attacked in a public forum without the right to reply in kind.

Sorry, I'm just sick of people who don't bother to research their opinions (one way or the other) spouting them off to anyone who does or does NOT care to listen. I lean towards the liberal side of the political spectrum and I am sick of being attacked for it. I am not rich, lazy, or elitist, in fact I am poor, bust my *** for a living, and have NEVER been accused of being elitist.
It seems like everyone out there is out to tear the country in half, when we really need to be trying to work hardest to hold things together.

No need to apologize, just throwing some unexpected humor into the mix.

Don't blame the US, blame the UAW.

Is it a surprise to me the bonneville was killed after the 00+ models? Not after what i've learned.

That was then. I never said that we've always been that way. I said that we've become that way now.

However the Grand Prix'* reliability ratings are listed at "Good" or "Excellent" (I can't remember which). If you don't believe me, check out the 2005 car review issue of CR. Something just doesn't add up here. How can they share the same drive train but have such a disparity in ratings? Needless to say it makes me slightly guarded when reading CR opinions.
Powertrain isn't the sole issue in determining reliability...
