Would be better to make the Grand Prix an AWD then a V8 front wheel drive IMO. Personally I think it should have a LS2 with rear wheel drive and be a muscle car similiar to the 1970 Grand Prix I had with the 455. That would be bad *** IMO.

I still can't get over the idea that it'll have wider front wheels/tires than rears. I know its supposed to be functionally better, but it'll be hard to get used to. I hate front wheel drive...

I would buy a cobalt ss before I bought one of these new Grand Prix's with the ls4. Same performance, and better handling. Still sucks though that the new Cobalt SS is not rwd, but for fwd it's not bad.

Yeah front wheels wider than the rear!!! If I even thought about one of these I would ask for the same size wheels in the rear before purchase
