Hi, this is my first post, thanks for letting me in. I used to own a '97 Grand Prix GT coupe, the first car I ever bought for myself, brand new, it was AWESOME. I eventually had to trade it in for something bigger when I got a family of my own ('99 Chevy Tahoe LT).
Recently on a family vacation the rental I chose was a very newer Grand Prix sadan, again AWESOME. My vehicle at home is a '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo so driving the car around FL brought me back. The accelleration, the handling, the speed, the comfort was great. Sure made me miss owning a Grand Prix. My dad own a late 70's Grand Prix so I've loved them since I was a little kid, I'm now 32. Main reason I haven't gone back to one is because of these Iowa winters. Even though my '97 got me through a few IA winters just fine, now that I have wife and kids I don't want to take the chance to get stuck or worse an accident. Obviously the gas mileage makes me want to get one again, but then I think about November through March and I think again.
So all of you that own a Grand Prix you're lucky.
