    My 2002 Grand Prix Gt has been a very good to me however it is time to look for a replacement.

    I love the Grand Prix for the way it drives. I would gladly buy another if I could get one new.

    Can anyone make a suggestion for replacement vehicle?

    What's your price range?

    How many doors do you need?

    Options wanted?

    Any particular brand you like (or don't like)?

    Primary use of said vehicle? DD? Weekend warrior? Snow plow?

    Gotta give us some insight so we can suggest things that you would actually like/afford. If not, then I say Ferrari 599 or Corvette ZR-1

    Vauxhall is from the United Kingdom.
    The United Kingdom is in, that's right Europe!

    Sry. For some reason I was under the impression Vauxhaull was Australian. Silly me.

    Thanks for replies!

    Looking for something fairly conventional - sedan with 4 doors, FWD ...

    Have looked at the Regal - must take it for a spin!

    Buying new is something I would like to do, yes.

    However its not financially wise...

    a 2007 GP GT would be nicely priced and a very nice vehicle.

    Or even a 2008 GP GXP.

    If you would like to wait a month or two... the 2012 Impala LTZ would make for a great vehicle.

    303 HP from GM's 3.6L high feature V6.
