GTP Boneville 275hp 300ft lbs of torque V8. Sporty yet very refined. If thats not good enough the GTO might be something to look at 350hp 365ft lbs of torque..

Don't make a choice without giving the G6 a spin this fall!

If I were to buy a new car today, it would be either a Chrysler 300c (5.7L HEMI V8, 340HP/390 Ft/lb of tq) or a Dodge Magnum R/T (same engine), but that's just me

If I had to get a Chrysler it would be the 300M, if they still make them. I usta like the PT Cruiser when they first came out, but the newness has worn off a long time ago. But I do like the two-toned turboed dream cruiser.

I'd be a little worried about buying a Mitsubishi right now. They're basically bankrupt. The new 2005 WRX STI is better than last years and that motor lasts forever.

I love going to the Pontaic dealer and drooling.
