My wants have shifted slightly

From Grand Prix GTP to Bonneville GXP.

Not only is the styling better (dem full width tail lights) but it also has a 4.6 Northstar making 275 horsepower and 300 ft-lbs of torque. Plus it's bigger which means my big self has more room.

The only thing that kinda bugs me are the vents. Why does there need to be SO MANY of them? You'd definitely be able to get air moving in every direction possible.

I've already found one for $6k.

Hopefully the transmissions in these aren't as prone to breaking as the are in the Grand Prix GXP.

Those are a little more expensive...

Well, if you ever have a rough day, you'll always have a place to drive and vent.

Actually laughed out loud.

The only issue I found with the Bonnie is that while it is bigger on the outside, it is actually smaller (feeling, at least) on the inside...

I think I could be weeks discovering new buttons/dials/stuff on this car.

I'd prefer the Grand Prix GXP because of my unnatural love of the small block Chevy (please ignore the fragile transmission):

There is a lot of buttons.

I love the SBC too, but I can't be fixing a transmission every 10,000 miles.

Them seat mounted crotch vents.

Oh you're exaggerating. They can make it almost 14,000 with proper maintenance!

I like a lot of buttons. It makes me feel like I'm in a cockpit.

As the owner of a 4.6l northstar (99 caddy deville), I'd go with something packing a 5.3. The NEW northstars are great motors but its hard to find bolt ons when you get bored with 275hp. If you own a pre 2004 northstar and can devise a way to collect and sell your tears you'll become a billionaire... Which you can use to spend on coolant if you wanna go more than 10-50 miles from your home.
