What Is It?
2004 Pontiac Bonneville GXP
What's Special About It?
How about a nice healthy V8 under the hood to start. That's right, after too many years of laboring along with overburdened V6 powerplants, the Bonneville GXP will debut in early 2004 with a 285 horsepower, dual-overhead cam V8 and a floor-mounted four-speed automatic transmission. A performance-tuned suspension that rides lower coupled with 18-inch wheels and tires will help keep the big sedan stuck to the ground while larger front and rear disc brakes will provide the stopping power. The exterior will be reshaped by new front and rear fascias, extended rocker panel extensions and a three-piece rear spoiler. The interior will feature leather- and suede-trimmed seats, a restyled instrument cluster, carbon fiber-look trim and an aluminum shifter handle.
Why Should You Care?
The fact that this car is headed to production already is a promising sign for GM fans. Debuting just last spring at the Chicago International Auto Show, this Bonneville received enough positive feedback that it was fast tracked into production almost immediately. Although the examples shown in Chicago and Las Vegas were still called concepts, Pontiac has assured us that the production version will come to market with few changes.
