LS4 W-body edition.

Buick Allure/LaCrosse Super

Chevy Impala SS

Pontiac Grand Prix GXP

How I do it:

DD: The Buick, its blends in very well. I also seems to be road sofa of the trio.

Track: The Pontiac, it was the most sporty of the trio.

Burn: The Chevy, it looks like rolling blob of meh. It looks like it took the worst aspects of Buick & the Pontiac.

Yep. The Buick is a fast M-F’er too.

I mean, unless you’re a GM sub-brand fanboy, that’s probably the only correct answer.

For once, I’m gonna agree with your choices.

I don’t mind the Buick, but, ugh, the other two.

DD Buick, track Pontiac, burn Chevrolet. I actually really want an Allure Super. Something about a bland looking sedan with the most comfortable seats in the world and a V8 driving the front wheels is just silly to me, yet also really appealing.

I’m with you. The Buick is the only one I’d be seen driving in public.

I’ve had that gen Impala (non-SS) as a rental and thought it was a POS, so burn that.

The Pontiac seems like it would handle less shittily than the other two.

The Pontiac also had wider tires in the front too from the factory (255/45r18 front, 225/50r18 rear). The other 2 are square stance.

Wow I didn’t know that. Not many cars run wider up front.

Too bad, it might help neutralize FWD a bit

It also was the only one with paddle shifters (on the stock 4-speed auto)

You’ve got them right, although I’d rather have a Bonneville GXP instead of the Grand Prix. (Yes, I know it’s a Northstar)

Can I burn them all? No? OK but can a just take the LS4 and stuff it in a Fiero? No Trail of Gaskets that’s not how this game works. Ok fine. I’ll DD the Pontiac because the red numbers in the gauges look cool at night. Track the Buick becuase lols. And burn the Impala because they have that abominable dual-zone climate sliders without automatic control that I’ve always hated.

DD Buick at 5 under the speed limit with the blinker on at all times (that’s the only way those can be driven I think)

Track: the Pontiac since it’s theoretically sportier (then burn it after track day)

Burn: the Lumina wannabe

I want them all and then I want to preserve them; put them in a museum so that the future doesn’t repeat the past.

To be honest, they’re all pretty well proportioned despite the diabolical drivetrain layout and I rather like the way they look—the correct way to answer this is to make them all DD’s: the Pontiac for your 20's-40's; the Chevy for your 40's -60's; and the Buick from your ‘60s until you die of torque steer.

Daily the comfiest one, track the sportiest one, burn the rental.

Sell all and buy something better lol.

You’ve got the right idea.

I’d DD the Chevy, track the Pontiac and burn the Buick. I always thought that generation LaCrosse was hideous.

Same as you but I still don’t want to burn the Impala

The LTZ Impala with the 3.9 was actually a fairly decent machine. Nothing to write home about, but it was comfy and had a fair amount of go to it (140+ MPH and nice smooth torquey acceleration). And the fact that it came with the same fake spoiler as the SS really fixed the proportions.

Burn all three

DD: the Buick because it’s by far the best looking.

Track: the Pontiac cus it might be tolerable after the intoerior if stripped,

Burn: the Impala because I want to.

The LTZ and SS look nice, for sure. And admittedly the one I drove was a rental spec V6. But I found the driving experience to be terrible all the way around. I’m sure the higher spec models are nicer—
