Pontiac Bonneville Owners: Photo Gallery

Hi all. I had not taken a look here in Edmunds chat rooms since I purchased my 2K SSEi in October of 1999, but, it's nice to see there are a group of proud Bonneville owners and that there appears to be serious discussion here.

In addition to posting our 2 seconds of fame from the fall issue of Pontiac Magazine, I wanted to stir up some interest in old 2k owners thinking of buying a new one as I want to.
I went to my dealer, in August, to order my 2002 SSEi only to find that for some reason they had eliminated Arctic White in favor Ivory White (which did not do it for me). This in addition to nothing else having been enhanced in 2002 (with the exception of badging and new exhaust tips) is pretty much stopping me from ordering the car to date..
 
I hope I haven't offendd anyone wit image size.

Despite the fact that my SSEi (the white one) has been "significantly enhanced" and has embarrased a lot of German made cars, I am thoroughly unhappy with GMs decision not to enhance the HP in 2002. The last insult to injury was the advertisement on Friday which announced the 255hp Maxima and 240hp Altima (yes I know the SSEi's torgue is signicantly greater).

I am very happy with my 2K and it still turns heads. I would like to see something in the order of a 300hp SSEi with a set of Z-rated Michelin Pilots (they are nice!), unique wheels, an even more of enhanced audio system. If they can't do it with the normal stock, a limited edition would be great. (maybe they could even raise the governor limits)

I've gone so far as to call GMs executive office suggesting they make a mid-year correction to keep pace with Nissan, Acura, and Lincoln's GS at the least. I wonder if anyone will hear my cry.

I'd like to hear what other owners think.
P.S.I hope I haven't offended anyone with the image size..Ben

Notice the little things :

ice bag on the intake to cool it down. the car does not have a headache !

the pile of stuff in front of the car - gotta loose weight in a hurry to go better times.

the beautifully stark scenery in the background. this place is in the middle of nowhere.
