The only thing I don't like about the MCSS is the rims. If I had one, the rims would be first to go.
I like my GXP, the main reason I bought it was for the HUD. My 2000 GTP had HUD and I couldn't live without it. Plus I'll probably have a kid within the next two years so I had to go with the 4 door.
Congratulations on the new car, it's nice to have a car that's under warrenty

I also can respect the V-8 "family car" approach. Win / win for all involved - plus the rumble of the V-8 will help the kid fall asleep.

We have the kids in mind too and we felt this was the biggest bang for the buck. She gets the family car and I get the v8. Plus I have the ws6 under a cover in the garage with a hole 6k miles on it.

You'll definitly get your V-8 fix with the car. Enjoy!

Personally I wish there was more "in your face" styling differences for the 4-doors so you tell something was up from farther away.
