I didn't even read your post actually. I just posted in the topic. I am not out to offend you, buddy.
IMO the Grand Am wasn't that great. My buddy had one from brand new and it gave him nothing but troubles. I also really hated all the wierd 'ripples' all over that they used for 'styling'. But you seemed to have had a good experience with them, so maybe I am a bit biased.
Almost any car built by anyone in the 80's was a joke, (with a few exceptions of course)
so we'll just write that decade off as a gimme. I mean for God's sake, a 2010
minivan will probably give a lot of 80-81 sports cars a good race.
And yeah the newer T/A and Judges were good cars. They had 2 good cars, like I said. For every T/A and Judge they made, there were god knows how many Sunfires and *shudders*
Aztecs.
PS: Oh yeah, I currently own a Pontiac G5 and my previous 2 fbodies were Trans Ams. Do/Did I like them? Yeah. But it doesn't make sense to kill GM again by having more badge engineered stuff.
