    I fail to see what's sportier about the 2-door over the 4-door. It's just an archaic mentality. Both would handle the same and the weight difference is negligible. I like having a 4-door because 2-doors use a longer door that's heavier and I get tired of closing it. Plus it's easier for people to get in the back seats.

    Personally, the exterior of the 97-03s is better than the 04+. What kept me from buying a 97-03 GP was the ****ty interior, which is better in the 04+ but I'm still not wild over it.

    Something else enthusiasts don't like about the 04+ GP is that the GTP has 20 more HP but so much torque management it's no faster than its predecessor.

    those that think a 2 door is sportier never got walked by a wagon.

    cant the tq management be over-rided?

    I have an 07, i like the interior, really like the front and rear end styling then the previous years.

    my buddy has a 01 GTP, he likes my 07 alot better especially in the interior aspect and the front/rear styling. the center looks pretty much the same however the rear doors have an upswing to them on the body lines.

    Mine is just a base sedan, I got two kids, have owned many fast cars and 4x4's now its time to play daddy and have the luxury of 90 degree rear door opening.
