I even like the SSEi's they are really nice, roomy, nice ride, quite on the inside and have a somewhat sleeper look to them. +2 on the bonniville GXP

I like the Bonnie GXP's a lot. K&N Filters sponsored us one year and they rented E-Town just for us. They had 4 G6's and 2 Bonnie GXP's. They let us beat on em for time trials. The cars still had the stickers on the windows, lol. The one I drove had 17 miles on it and the best time I got was a 14.7. Not too shabby for a big 4 door.

+1 for the Bonny GXP. Been thinking about one myself, if my Camry happened to die....

Raced one of those late 90's blown SSE's back in the day w/ my modded 97z...Goodlooking car but after 30 it was over  ....but i think they have some potential.

I really like the Bonne GXP but I cannot forget seeing them new at the dealership...and watching them fall apart (literally) on the lot.
While talking to the salesmen about the car I had to point out that the rocker GFX were literally falling off the car (double stick tape). The front susp. components and brakes also looked extremely cheap (and pretty rusted). I think that because it was the last year Bonne quality control may have slipped...
I'd still like to have one though

I like Bonnes the GXPs are great. Figure a SSEi ran apprx 1 sec slower than a similar GTP (stock for stock or mods being identical) so figure if the GP GXP runs a mid to hi 13 the Bonne GXP should be good for mid to hi 14. Mod potential is pretty good too.

One of the best bargains out there. They are very roomy and quite comfortable(for 4 people) for the long haul. Looks are up there for a sedan, and the V/8 and wheel package make it quite racy. Lots of standard "TOYS", and you will not see yourself on every street corner, because the production was not that high.
