But then again common sense isn't too common nowadays.

Common sense still dissent dictate which wheels are better driven in snow/ice. Hell even the 40ton tank on tracks will slide in ice at low speeds.

What extra comforts do the gxp's have that the other gps don't?

And the 14000 pound LAV-EW that's 8 fu*king wheel drive slides on ice.....did I say 8 wheel drive

For about a third of what most spend on their gxp I've got a comp g that's just as nice and a lot faster but still sounds not near as good

Seats, bigger brakes quicker ratio brake pedal, bilsteins etc..

Nicer interior stock v stock

Seats aren't any nice than any other gp are they? Brakes on my comp g stop me just fine. Worlds better than my 98. Suspension was great on the comp g too

Man Gxp seats are way better. Brakes stop better suspension is better on the Gxp. That is all fact.

Same seats as any 04+ car. You need to figure out what an opinion is and what a FACT is.

In any case yea suede inserts help to grip you better, and there bolstered on the sides better. the orginal comp g i drove had the all leather which was nice but the GXP seats were better. i cant recall if the comp g seats had power lumbar either not sure.

I wouldn't say the GXP seats aren't much better...yes the suede does help with keeping the seats a bit cooler..the bolster are the same and yea we have the power lumbar. Any 06+ will have the same interior...or could easily be upgraded down the road. Brakes are good especially when matched with a good set of brake pads. Billsteins are obvious geared more toward comfort until you have to replace them chances are you may cheap out and go with kyb etc.

I have power lumbar on my comp g. I'm not saying the gxp don't have better brakes I'm just saying the comp g stops perfectly fine with stock brakes. Suspension rode great on the comp g when I got it. It's slightly worse now with lowering springs and kyb's.

Bilsteins are not by any meas originally designed for comfort. Iirc gm using bilsteins on a fwd car was a industry first this were way ahead of agx's I used to have on my GTP.

It's not common sense anymore- it's common nonsense.

I see this kinda went in a different direction, but with what research I have done within the last year to now, that price is a little high, even for a dealer, so unless there is a real good warranty included or something, I would keep shopping around. I had seen 04 and 05 Comp-G's with around 50k miles going for under 11k, and two GXP's, one was 07 and the other was 08 in my area, with 80+k miles, both were little over 11k.
