GXP's also have the larger diameter Comp-G sway bars too as well as different springs that lower the GXP .9 " as opposed to a regular Grand Prix. I'd say they have pretty good handling for a 4 door car.

Things about the GXP that sold me:
Remote start, with the included auto dual zone climate control will start the car from over 500 feet away and heat or cool the cabin depending on weather.
Monsoon 9-speaker system with amplifier, in dash CD player, Onstar and XM
Heads up Display, sunroof
The motor
Lightweight, three-piece friction-welded composite intake manifold
Aluminum high-flow cylinder heads similar to 6.0L V-8 (LS2)
Aluminum engine block with cross-bolted main bearing caps
Full-floating pistons
Electronic throttle control integrated with a new engine controller
10.0:1 compression ratio for fuel-efficient performance
Unique camshaft designed for DOD technology
GM Oil Life System to minimize required oil changes
Brakes:
PBR Performance Brake Package, 4-wheel disc with Electronic Brake Force Distribution
GXP's performance brake package is a total control system designed to help drivers confidently use this vehicle's considerable V-8 power. At its foundation are cross-drilled 12.7" front and 12.0" rear rotors for superior heat dissipation. The red calipers are from brake specialist PBR, competition-tested to reduce flex for a smooth, progressive pedal feel, even in hard use.
StabiliTrak Sport Stability Control System
Monitoring the chassis is a task that falls to the StabiliTrak stability control system. One of the most advanced in the world, it compares steering inputs to vehicle response and selectively activates critical control inputs to help you stay on track. It is the type of control that not only defines GXP, but redefines the entire concept of the FWD sport sedan.
Four-Wheel Independent Suspension
Re-Tuned four-wheel independent suspension has new spring rates, larger anti-roll bars and premium monotube Bilstein gas shocks. They help GXP to circulate the skid pad at .85g, and sits 9mm lower that std GP's
It has a built in G meter.
Tapshift, holds the gear to redline.
Magnasteer II
Matches steering assist to your speed, while a four-channel ABS system provides additional control on uneven surfaces and in unpleasant weather.
Heated seats, wife loves em. No spare tire but you get a cool inflator kit lol.

^^^Sorry but I bought the 2 door version, the G meter don't mean squat 2 me, or does the other 2 doors. Even though I have a 3 year old, still don"t want a 4 door, but if I did the GXP would be first on my list. No offense.
