yeah, I read it..... It wasn't the worse I have seen, but the main thing they didn't like was the price, and I agree with that....

I agree with how many errors TCC made is poor writing and even worse editing. The picture on the home page is a Grand Prix and I started to look for news on the GP then I noticed the article on the GXP. I guess the editors can't tell the difference?
3.5?
Maybe it is some secret engine we don't know about?
At least the writer realized the GXP is a good car,fast to market, made on a low budget, an improvement over the SSE, and a sign of good things coming from Pontiac.
The other nice thing about the review is the author states his bias in the opening and his conclusion changes at the end.
Yes the price is too high and the cars compared to the GXP are not in the same market.
3 Series and Bonneville?
Some type of sarcastic joke!

$37,600 (automatic) as equipped!
I think a valid question is whether or not GM should be charging so much for a vehicle which is very similar to my 2000 Bonneville SSEi with a new engine & suspension setup. I bought mine for under 30K. It has 280 torque...
I consider this factor, too.
I don't know...I just think that the Chevy Impala / Monte Carlo SS and Pontiac GXP could be sold for thousands less, given that GM has long since paid for the R&D for the technology going into these cars (especially the SS'es that share so much with much older supercharged Regals). I don't know much about the Cadillac Seville, but I wouldn't be shocked to find that the Bonneville "borrowed" much, as the SS's borrowed from the Regal.
I was hoping to see pricing just above a Bonneville SSEi --- and since the SSEi hasn't changed much since 2000-3, neither should the price...I've hardly had a raise since then.
At least the suspension setup and better - the exterior - has been changed dramatically, even if the interior is pretty much circa 2000. The Monte/Impala hardly changed at all.

2000 Pontiac Bonneville
Model lineup MSRP
SE ($24,295); SLE ($27,995); SSEi ($32,250)
And you know you won't get any discounts on the GXP, at least not for a while.
