What can I say..I Looooove It!!! It's a super comfy car to cruise in anytime. On a 12 hr road trip it was great. I have osteoarthritis in my lower spine so I have major back pain and the seats are fully adjustable and heated allowing a person to customize to their complete comfort.The only thing that I'd say is a thumbs down on the seats is the passenger doesn't get the same treatment ie. no heat,no power lumbar or power anything.They changed this in the next generation. My GTP is fully loaded with every option possible which to me is great cause I love the bells and whistles,not all GTP's have this according to GM. I love the HUD(Heads up display) and wouldn't want another car without it.I never look down at the gauges because the HUD tells me everything I need,I'm sure everyone else that has this would agree. Basically all the options such as the power one touch drivers window(thumbs down for not having it for the passenger windows),changeable imperial to metric gauges for everything,programmable drivers info center,steering wheel controls,one touch power sunroof,keyless doors and trunk are all a great feature that I appreciate.The cup holders are kinda not where I like them but there isn't any place else really to put them.I Find using the cup holders gets in the way of shifting and if you spill from accelerating too hard or something of such it goes onto the shifter and consule.I do wish the Boost gauge showed up on the HUD though. *For the interior styling and options I give it a 8/10 The handling is great and feels solid.I can take corners at high speeds without feeling body roll and it feels like it hugs them as if it were on a rail.The discs all around make braking decent,never had any problems, although bigger calipers & cross drilled/vented discs would feel even better.The ride is very smooth and quiet inside,the suspension give on bumps is great and handles it accordingly.I do have a squeak on the left side hitting hard bumps which is from the shock,but makes no difference in handling.I am used to rear wheel drive cars so changing to a front wheel drive took a bit to get used to when the wheels start spinning and the torque thrust hits the steering wheel.I wish they would have made these cars rwd, it would have made them a bit more fun to goof around in. *For handling,suspension,braking etc., I give it a 8/10 The acceleration is good for a car that's not heavy but not a lightweight either.The supercharger is a definate plus and makes this car tons more fun.Because of the sc off the line is great and spanks a lot of other cars with bigger engines.For a little V6 it isn't a slug by any means and being a V8 owner for most of my life,I was very surprised by it and in awe.The nice thing about this car is there are tons of things that you can do to the engine to boost the hp with little money and effort. *From a done up V8 owners perspective I give the engine/performance a 9/10 The body and styling on these cars is good.The front end being my favorite to look at.It's low to the ground and wide making it look like more of a performance car.The wheels that came stock on mine aren't the worst I've seen for stock cars and are tolerable, but a simple polished or chrome 5 star would have been best,which came on newer models.The basic grand prix without the rear wing looks terrible,the wing that's on the GTP looks decent and sleek but I prefer the GTX wings giving it a sportier look.All in all the look of the GTP is nice and clean but fat and kinda gangster(is what the kids say now..lol). For exterior styling I give it a 8/10 Cost of ownership is great,no repairs have had to be made other than the GM recall.Regular 3 mos or 5000km oil changes and proper fluid changes when needed have kept my car running like new.They are picky about the plugs you run in them as they are supercharged and need a cooler running plug.My car runs best on 94 octane,GM recommends 91 or up so with the price of gas initial fueling can shock you.They have great gas mileage and I get 28mpg highway, but city driving depending on if you shift manually and use the gas pedal heavier you can go down to about 19-22mpg,which is fair for a larger car. *For Cost of ownership I give it a 10/10 The fun factor of this car is awesome,every time I get into it and drive it I fall in love all over again.With all the good this car carries with it, it is a real drivers car.It's got enough jam for the V8 nut,enough comfort, ride and handling for the Cadillac/Lexus driver and more than enough bells and whistles that will keep anyone happy.For this year of car it was priced decent and out beat more expensive cars that had the same performance,styling,quality and options.GM did well with this car and the new model is something to definately go check out and test drive as they are even more smokin fast,more optioned and still decently priced compared to other makes of comparable cars. I have changed the most faithful to a certain make, and stubborn minds with this car.That says something about these cars. All in all I give this car a 9/10

Have loved this car ever since I bought it over a year ago. My kids call it dad's race car and always want to go for a ride in it. Wish GM would have kept Pontiac around big mistake getting rid of them.

Car drives, and performs amazingly. Only negatives I can think of are the build quality. Several parts tend to fail, and some of the designs seem poor. The cost is pretty high, only due parts that always seem to break a lot. Over all I love it.

Now in its fifth decade of production, the Grand Prix is one of the few enduring Pontiac signatures, having surpassed the legendary Bonneville now in longevity. Despite changes in size and engine choices, due mostly to changing times and external influences, the Grand Prix has retained its performance car stature, evolving over the years from a personal luxury cruiser to affordable family car, and back again to the racing coupe we see today.
Introduced in 1962 as a large hardtop coupe, with engineering contributions from John DeLorean, the Grand Prix helped change the styling fashion from flashy to classically simple, with less chrome and trimmings. Its focus was on performance, and it featured big block V8s that got well into the upper 300s for horsepower. But it also packed in a lot of standard features, such as cruise control and air conditioning, that set it apart as not just a street racer, but also a personal luxury cruiser. It was an immediate success and a big influence on the segment. A redesign in the late '60s turned it into more of a mid-size coupe, but with better handling and even more engine grunt.
As with all cars, the 1970s forced some downsizing in bodies and engines. The big boats got smaller and the motors less powerful, thanks to the catalytic converter requirement. Eventually the once racing-inspired Grand Prix coupe slipped down to well below 200-hp, though it didn't lose any of its interior luxury trappings, which some say were approaching overkill. Despite the loss of street performance, the coupe remained highly popular as an affordable personal tourer. The Grand Prix took a further hit in the 1980s with the demise of the V8. Its increasingly smaller body was no longer in keeping with the new growing demand for family cars.
Towards the end of the 1980s, the Grand Prix introduced its first sedan to go along with the coupe, and joined the front-wheel drive market. Its redesign earned it Car of the Year status in 1988, and the 1990s brought a gradual return to the performance car aspects it had been forced to minimize for so long. Powerful V6 engines were soon joined by the long-lost V8, and both sedans and coupes grew in size to accommodate families, while the engines boosted horsepower to accommodate driving enthusiasts. New GT and supercharged GTP V8 models, and later the ultra-sporty GXP would refocus attention on excitement behind the wheel. As further proof of its revived performance focus, Grand Prix sedans were all but dropped (except for fleet use mostly), leaving the coupes to tear up the streets.
When the Bonneville was dropped in 2005, the Grand Prix became the sole survivor of Pontiac's legacy. Despite its iconic name, GM has announced that 2008 will be the last year for the Grand Prix, marking 47 years of a successful run as a high-performing, yet affordable personal cruiser.
