Cant, The Oshawa plant owns the rights to the name Grand Prix, as well as Monte Carlo and Impalla.
Oshawa makes all the W bodie cars, such as Impala, GP, Monte, LaCrosse, and used to make cars like the Regal and Century.
And as a reminder, all the W bodies must die so that Camaro and other RWD sedans and coupes can be made here. Camaro and her Zeta sister cars will be made in Oshawa. Oshawa will shut down Plant 2 to retool for Camaro very soon. All production will move to Plant 1, which is right now just Impalla and Lacrosse.
Yes, the Grand Prix GXP is FWD, but is the only of the the W bodies that get larger front tires to compensate for the extra load, on top of the only ones that get Bilstien struts designed for the handling of the GXP package. Grand Prix is also the only of the W bodies that have DVD Navigation.
Grand Prix is a massive car, and the G8 is actually smaller then the Prix, but has a lot more interior space.
