Metrosexual car. It is a POS and the non-GTP one is a vague driver with lots of bad habits. Only thing going for it is that the screwball design division that seems to make all GM products look like the Aztek have not monkeyed with it, yet. That is why the GTO was a breath of fresh air. Too bad they have killed it.

Couldn't let that go uncorrected.

Those bugs are surprisingly roomy, and I see more guys driving them anyway.

Run someone down with the car, it'll show whomever it wasn't so girly.

Grand Prix's rock. I had a 95 and even tho it handled like crap, it was still a great car.

Until my Dad didn't change the transmission fluid until I did @ 100K miles and the tranny died like 20K miles later. :eek:

Guess you don't know what rice is.

Rice is taking an economy car and making a bunch of visual "improvements", adding a wing, stickers, lowering it, etc, and adding a fart can muffler while not doing anything at all to the performance of the car.

You don't have to have a V8 to make your car fast. All the mods done to the car above were PERFORMANCE mods.

Definitely not rice.

I always thought the coupe version (do they even make those anymore?) was a little girly, but not the sedan. It's still a pretty junky, underengineered car, and one I would never ever buy, but I wouldn't call it girly.
