Don't get me wrong, I love my GP, but I want to get something with a stick. Plus, the body on my GP is pretty beat up. Been in 3 accidents since I bought it with only one reported (others were minor). Had an altercation with a mailbox in which it won. I was such a bad driver and abused it when I just got my license and i'm paying for it now. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another grand prix, but I want a manual gearbox which pontiac did not include as an option for this bodystyle! Beleive me, if they made a stick shift GTP, thats exactly what I would have right now! But instead I'm looking into Honda's and Acura's because of the MPG's they get!

I'm in the Charlotte area GTP! and Coolone, I do understand and agree with you, normally it's worth fixing the known problems but at this point it's just like the GP is starting to fall apart because of all the abuse it's had in it's life..
