There really good cars. I havn’t heard anyone not love theres.  
There great stock, with strong parts that mod well. Strong shortblock, with good heads, true duel exhust (sounds bad ass like any vette). Strong trans, 4door, lots of room, non GM like intior…

Nope. Just the gas tank… lol.

Battery’s up front.

As to the OP - I thought about getting one and would DD it all year round - but then I’d either have to give up my Munro or wind up doing a Commodore swap…

Wife won’t let me keep THAT many cars around - I have too many as it is 😉

we have an 08 at our dealer here and we had to park it in the warehouse because it was fucking WORTHLESS in the snow. other than that i love the car except it doesnt seem as fast as a 6.ol gto i may be wrong but it doesnt feel like a fast car. fit and finish is good for a pontiac, and it does drive well. the balance isnt up to my liking (too much ft weight) but go and drive it, if you like it buy it. good luck.

i wouldnt but it personally.
