....Well I do recognize the GXP for all that it has equipment-wise which does give it a great competative edge but from a styling point I can't go for it... I love the front and the profile but the back end is a huge turn off for me...not to mention the interior is like out of control, and that steering wheel....I got the Monte because I for one don't need or desire four doors, Styling inside and out is atractive without going crazy, and the car as a whole is just a very nice machine. And its reasonably light for it's size. 3487 according to the title. Now to see where I'm comming from I had a '89 Cutlass Supreme International as my 1st car and 4 GPs; '89 SE, '90 Turbo, '92 SE 34 manual (which I still have), '93 SE 34 Auto, not to menton all the various engines I've rebuilt for them..loooooong story....Anyways thats why I like the Monte.. Oh one last thing they are kinda rare(thanks to GM), nice to drive something noone else has.
