    Wait.. Did you really just say that interior is more "luxurious"?

    Can't imagine it being any worst..

    Good buy though, not hating, just stating..

    For a Pontiac it's actually pretty nice in there.

    onstar, xm, heated seats, more room, nicer radio quality sound, sunroof....

    the gto is nice, dont get me wrong.... but this car is more suited as a daily driver than an all out toy like a gto.

    Why not? My GMC is by far the most reliable vehicle I've had. And to be honest my BMW was more reliable than my Acura...

    Nice pickup though, I'm actually starting to like these, I just wouldn't buy one new.

    very good reason..

    usually a daily is something that is inexpensive and small. easy to get around and usually an automatic.

    it looks great.. its probably the only thing i like coming from pontiac.
