"...so, we can hope that the GXP will not be the swan song for Ponitac's performance powerhouse." womp womp womp. Then the Chevy SS came out which is pretty much a G8 GXP with exterior styling most people think is a Malibu. Hence the license plate on mine, "SS FFS"
Man I wanted a new one so bad. Fullfilled that dream later on, great little car but pretty unimpressive performance wise. Plus more power quickly shows the weak links in them (tranny and rearend). Great road cars though. I shoulda kept mine but I moved on while the market was still high.
