I don't see too many around. I rented one about two years ago and remembered it being adequate. Not spectacular but not horrible either. Had lots of space. It could make a decent used car buy but apparently it had reliability issues. |

, "it's an attractive alternative to far more expensive European sports sedans," he says. 5 series, E class, A6 and Bonneville...  |

It seems that anyone who sits on the passenger seat would get too much wind from the vents.
Seriously though, the dash board didn't have to be that large.. |

Agreed, the interior is quite blah and too busy looking. |

Ugly car! Just wanted to say that posting reviews of used cars is a great idea - I'm not in the market but it gives me an idea of older cars for the day that I want to buy again. I also get to learn about cars sold in N America before I moved here. Good job!  |

Never understood why the kept both the Grand Prix and Bonneville around together for so long. I think the next gen Grand Prix (G8??) should have a GXP version that would be what the SSEi Bonneville was (or should have been). The current Grand Prix GXP just needs a bit more of what the French call "I don't know what" IMO.
Definitely need to tone down the dash tho, no need for 10 million buttons and switches, it's a car, not a plane....
I see a few around here and I think the last gen of the Bonneville was nicely styled, didn't realize it had that many problems tho. |

When I worked at GM a few years ago, the Pontiac brand manager was adamant, that the Bonneville was a threat to the BMW 5 series. I kept a straight face and wondered what kool-aid he and few others where drinking. |
