Yes, there used to be a Bonne GXP (Bonne was discontinued) but it only had the 275hp Northstar, not the 303hp LS4. It had a slightly nicer interior, and a little softer ride. It also cost a lot more (stickered at around 39-40k).
Here are some pics of my GP GXP:

I'd recommend test driving both before you decide to go with the Bonne. There is a noticeable seat of the pants power difference, I think a lot has to do with the much higher torque of the LS4 in the GP. The suspension and brakes on the Bonne are also not as good, and the fact that it's a heavier car to begin with hurts it even more. Another big reason I went with the GP over the Bonne is that the dealer wanted $38k for the Bonne, and I got mine fresh from the factory for ~$27k with rebates.

Man. I'm a little torn between getting one of these or an Impala SS. I like the Chevy interior way better based on test driving a new impala and the pictures I've seen of the interior of the GXP.

BUT, the GXP exterior looks way better. Hard decision.

Rich, Keep in mind the GXP has better brake calipers, larger cross drilled rotors, Bilstein Struts, Wider Bridgestone tires, TapShift, HUD.

I've been reading about those parts over the Impala. The only issue I have is the interior is pretty Blah to me. BUT, I have only seen pictures of the GXP interior. I really need to take a test drive when I come home for 2 weeks in July.

I could always work my skills and redo the door panels and work on the dash to make it look better.
