Don't you think the new Galant has more than a few hints of Maxima, both front & rear?
TL is best Honda/Acura design in forever. Looks like Acura is going rakish, like Caddy.
What did they do to the Maxx? Last time I looked, it had unconventional European style. All that is gone!
My color choice is silver or polo green, but I'd also like to see that orange.
Anyway, I've got an order started on a GTP WS6 in Fusion Orange, but the holdup is the side impact airbags. There's currently a hold on them and no one at Pontiac will say what the delay is or how long it will be before they're available. Has anyone heard anything (preferably with a grain of truth to it)?
Have people been able to get much of MSRP and how do owners like their cars?
My car arrived 4/18/03 and I picked it up on 4/19/03 on a great warm Saturday in Baltimore. The car was given a pin stripe against my knowing and you know what it did not look all that bad. you see the stripe matches the gray in the ten spokes. The TAP shift is to die for. You can get to 30-35 before your get a gear design in the HUD telling you to shift. I stay in 3rd most of the time then floor it drop to fourth and cruise from there. The 3rd gear is a great passing gear.
I have 500 miles on it in just 4 days. Was a great Easter surprise. If you have any questions about it I can give you the details. I paid almost nothing for it and the dealership was great. My MSRP was $30,370. Just ask and I will tell ya all I know. I also have pics. Including under the hood.....

Do you get a lot of looks in the new one?

Dual zone would be nice (I have it on the Intrigue), but I can live with out it if I ever get a GP.
TIA
I would also NEVER buy a car without TC and ABS.
Or did I miss anything?
TIA
Then again, who am I to argue about snow with someone from the Great White North?

I hear you on the debatable value. One website I saw did some real-world research and found virtually no difference as far as survival rates of those with SIAB, except for ejections in rollovers, like you said. It's still better to have them than not; I was just concerned how there seemed to be no indication of when they might be available. At least late May is a tangible target - hopefully one "hit" by Pontiac.

I removed the buttons on the TL's dash and on the GTPs dash. The quality, thickness, weight, etc were more or less about the same on both cars regarding their "plastic bits". While the textures were different, there was no difference in the quality of the plastic used on the dashes.
I can understand if you don't like the textures on the controls, but there isn't any difference in the quality compared to an Acura, for example.
As far as the dash, I like it better than the Honda also. I find the quality of materials to be excellent. This is not a $45K BMW folks, it's a midsize sedan.

Have you sat in the car??????
I guess I would agree with ab348....I sat in the GP interior display at the Autoshow and while a bit of an improvement over the previous iteration it still looked below par to me. The seats themselves were improved but the dash not as much. In a GTP that would sticker around 28-30k its just not where it should be. Why does a Toyota Corolla have a nicer interior at 10 grand less? Pontiacs own Vibe has a better quality interior (except for the same dimestore Delco stereo).
The Impala is nicer.
I took advantage of the copious rebates and discounts(close to 8 grand total) on a 2003 GT that I'll be quite happy with. Since I have a long commute and put about 25k-30k miles/year on my rigs, I take a soaking if I trade anyway. But, our Pontiacs(since 1989) have all treated us pretty well and been quite dependable which makes it easy to sell off/pass on to friends or family.
LOL!
REG : Sit in the car again. Dash is very good and the knobs and buttons are as good as anything. You may not like the design, but the quality is competitive. Like I said before, it's not a BMW, it's a midsize sedan. Toyota Corolla interior design is ok, nothing special from what I remember.
