#4219 of 4431 E20 by msbrooke Aug 03, 2005 (5:19 am)
Replying to: bdstrie (Apr 04, 2003 8:51 am) Did you ever figure out what E20 means? I am having the same problem.

Replying to: hammen2 (Aug 02, 2005 9:04 pm) My range tops at $25000.   I've driven an Impala for a week in vacation and it's laughable. C'mon, a car made in the 21st century with visible screws on the door panel??? It sure has a good chassis mated to a comfortable suspension and is well insulated, with plenty of room. Yet, the interior materials were sub-par.   The Lucerne is promising, especially if it gets the 3.6 V6, but I'm wondering about here and now...   Thanks for the tip on the Commodore.

Replying to: hammen2 (Aug 04, 2005 5:14 pm) No, I wasn't aware that the '06 model was brand new. I'll keep my eyes open, thanks.
#4224 of 4431 My GTP by marksgtp Aug 08, 2005 (7:21 pm)
I've owned a '98 GTP sedan, black on graphite, with everything save the sunroof, for about four months now. I've put about 5K miles on her.   Having driven her and read this forum top to bottom, here are my thoughts for what they're worth:   1. Love love love the handling. I can take 90 degree turns at 50 mph without a bit of tire squeal. (I did put Fuzion H-rated tires on--they won't make their rated treadlife, but they do perform.)   2. The engine is beautiful, except I have the oil-in-the coolant issue. I got the intake manifold gasket replaced, but it doesn't seem to have fixed it. Any ideas?   3. Good tranny, decent brakes. Fantastic stereo. The only rattles are from the broken door panel clips.   4. The headlights do, in fact, suck. The condensation doesn't bother me, as I do live in Florida. The dimness is an issue.   5. I adore the exterior as much as it's possible to adore a sedan. Looks lowered with the valances and NON-cladding, swoopy and curvaceous.   6. I can't argue the relative cheapness of the 97-03 interior materials. However, the new interior is butt-ass ugly, unless it's monochrome.   This is definitely the best car I've owned, and probably the best I've ever driven.

#4225 of 4431 Marksgtp: Headlights by mrrogers Aug 09, 2005 (12:47 pm)
Car & Driver magazine did a long term test, and they upgraded the headlights bulbs with improved bulbs from TireRack. I ordered the TireRack bulbs for my 2004 Grand Prix, and I think that there is a noticeable improvement. Replies to this message: evandro (Aug 09, 2005 7:47 pm)

Replying to: mrrogers (Aug 09, 2005 12:47 pm) What was improved in those bulbs, the wattage, as 65W instead of 55W?   TIA
#4227 of 4431 Evandro: PIAA Headlight Bulbs by mrrogers Aug 10, 2005 (6:23 am)
I went out in the garage and located the original box that my replacement headlight bulbs came in. They are part number 9006. They are called PIAA Xtreme White Plus Bulb. You asked about the wattage. The package says HB4 12V 51W - 115W. This is the low beam bulb, and no one has ever flashed their high beams at me like they were getting a glare or a too bright light in their eyes. I have used them for 66,000 miles on my Grand Prix, and I have had no issues with fuses or relays. I recommend the bulbs, and I will buy them for my next car if they are available.

Replying to: mrrogers (Aug 10, 2005 6:23 am) I'll try to find them for my Intrigue. Its headlights leave to be desired, unlike my Bonneville's.   Thanks.
