Any one have a 2005 GTO or the G6?

Personally I like the look of the GTO better. I guess we will have to go and drive them. Does the GTO have a sport suspension or a soft ride? Some sport suspensions are just not good. I don't want to feel every bump or road irregualarity. I told hubby not smart to look at the soliace just because Michigan has bad winters. Does anyone know are all 3 cars rear wheel drive?

I believe the GTO has what has been deemed a "nice compromise" in the suspension department. Not to harsh a ride, but still sporty and firm. And about the drive wheels, the GTO and Solstice (correct way to spell that; I checked, hehe ) are RWD, G6 is FWD, I believe (might be an AWD option on the G6; I don't know, but I doubt it...)

If you want more info on the '05 GTO and G6 (Solstice isn't out yet), visit http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/N...6/Act/Showall/ They'll confirm what I've been saying about the GTO, at least...

They are looking to trade up from Fords not down.

Only get the 300c Hemi! Dont waste your time on the v6 models. Cant go wrong with a full size sedan that'* company is owned by Mercedes.

Get an '05 GTO, rather than an '04. 50 more horses, plus it'* less likely to have bugs because it'* the second year of production...
