I love all LS4 cars, my favorite being the SS Monte Carlo followed by the Buick Lacrosse Super! How do you guys like your cars? what are the pros and cons to owning one? explain and post a pic of your machines plz =)

Pros: Always been a big monte fan. So it is what I wanted.
The LS4 has enough power for me I dont go to the drag strip. Just an ocasional light to light run. Suprises people.
Plenty of room in front seats for tall people like me and the fam. just dont sit behind me no leg room there LOL. Long cruises are comfy. big *** trunk. I can fit two large suitcases a large dog crate, a whole bunch of other **** in there enough for two people and a large dog going on a two week vacation. and I dont even have to put the reare seat down. My dog likes the back seat as soon as he is in he falls a sleep.
Heated seats and xm are a plus too.

Cons: Chevy QC sucks. IIS problems, interior squeaks and rattles, electrical problems with air bags, power seats. I am prilly missin some but oh well.

here are some pics.

Pros: Good DD. Enough power for me. Huge trunk as previously mentioned.
Cons: Could use a little more supportive seats. Interior rattles and squeeks. Too much interior plastic. Sure there's other things I don't feel like thinking right now.

back end looks a little different from those pics tho... I've since changed the SS on the trunk to a bigger one - same size that goes on the doors...

and also now have new exhaust with bigger (4") slant tips on it...

Note: Two weeks after the car was built, my salesman kept calling the Oshawa plant to ask where the hell it was. He finally found out that the GM Performance Division team members had kept it for over a week (inspecting it from end to end) and mistakenly shipped it to a car show. They thought it was going to be a Buick "showcar", and eventually loaned out to some golf pros. After they realized their blunder, the car was immediately shipped to my dealership, where I took immediate possession. BTW, the GM exec who took the pics had copies sent to my salesman to give to me.

When i first was in the market for buying a car i had a choice of the charger , mustang , magnum , monte carlo. Due to the size of the vechicles and there power. I ended up choosing the monte carlo because i loved my previous ss a 02 MCSS 3800 SP and the fact that the 06mcss was faster then all of the above cars and its a chevy

CONS : As much time @ at the dealer as on the road.

well ive always wanted my gxp i used to have a grand prix gt1 and i just wanted something nicer so i got that. honestly i wish i could do it over again, I'd buy a 03 mustang mach 1 much cheaper. the car is just too big for me. heres the pros and cons

Pros: fun, power, exhaust note, heads up display, wheels, somewhat good handling. all season reliabilty.

Cons: embarassing launches, cant just punch the pedals because you'll spin the tires (fwd sucks), too big for my liking, a pain in the *** to park, blind spots, not much headroom if you get a sunroof, aging w-body platform , lack of mods and expense of the decent ones. , summer tires , no top end acceleration, low end is nice though

Should of bought a monte carlo , but if you can't park a tiny GXP then you shoudn't be driving a monte carlo.

The LS4 cars aren't even really "GM Performance Division" cars.

You have to adjust your driving style to fwd, i can lauch close to any RWD on the street. I'm sick of people saying these cars can't launch, NEWS FLASH! its not the car, u just can't drive a high horse power fwd car.

Never said they didn't have a hand in it. Doesn't mean it's an official GM Performance Division car though.
