400 HO Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I was just at Dennis Pontiac yesterday. They have a BEAUTIFUL 2005 Bonneville GXP right outside the showroom in that new Tri-Coat Gold color. If anyone is passing by.. YOU GOTTA stop and see this car!!! The color is AWESOME!!! It's got the Caddy Northstar V8 engine and it runs a mier $38,000!!!! That's way too much coin for me, but man is it pretty! Being a GTO fan.. I would take this car over a GTO in a heartbeat. Just my .02 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy1647545504 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 http://www.pontiac.com/bonneville/images/bg_image1.jpg I think its a pretty good looking car now. You do have to keep in mind that its a "poor man's Cadillac". With that in mind, I'd go for that instead of a Cadillac STS just based on the service and parts expense of having the wreath and crest on my car. Especially since: "Look Ma, no ugly plastic ribs!" http://www.pontiac.com/bonneville/images/bg_image17.jpg And http://www.pontiac.com/bonneville/images/bg_image3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't buy another Cadillac unless it's new. And mine's only the pushrod 4.9! (But someone else should buy mine! I've already fixed the really expensive stuff! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GTO is what I was referring to from the initial post.The 04 GTO is a regular LS1. The 05 GTO will be a regular LS2. I would definately rather have a GTO over a Bonneville, but I wouldn't say they are really going after the same market of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
