The Grand Prix should offer a V8 in the GXP version right? And it already offers more hp supercharged than what the G6 is supposed to get in the GXP. The G6 offers more Accord-like styling, while the Grand Prix is slightly less conservative. The G6 and Grand Prix are very close in size. The G6 is supposed to be Pontiac's high volume seller. So- after the G6 comes out, why not make the Grand Prix strickly an upscale model? Drop the GT1- offer only the 17 inch wheels (though an upgrade to 18s would be better), and ditch the cheaper cloth. For that matter, after the GXP version of the GP is released, how about dropping the standard 200 hp six cylinder all together? Consumers would have a choice between a s/c 3800 in the GTP or the V8 in the GXP. Want 200 hp and a lower price?- buy a G6. Does this make sense to anyone else? Nissan did something very similar with the Altima / Maxima, and though I thought it was a horrible idea when the new Maxima came out, it seems to be working rather well now.
Does anyone know if the GTP is planned to be dropped when the GXP is released?
