2004
PONTIAC BONNEVILLE REFINES PERFORMANCE LUXURY IMAGE
Pontiac Bonneville
has been delivering driving excitement and total comfort to owners
since the 1950s. For 2004, Bonneville receives a combination of
refinements and an all-new performance model, the GXP.
Three-model
lineup, led by GXP
Bonneville is available in three models for 2004 - SE and SLE,
as well as GXP - each with its own high level of standard luxury,
safety and performance equipment.
The big news
is the all-new Bonneville GXP, available in early 2004. It comes
with refined styling (including new fascias, headlamps, taillamps,
exhaust tips and a spoiler), more horsepower, and a luxurious
interior. It was designed and engineered to deliver brute power
on-call but with the ability to cruise from California to Florida
in comfort.
Power for
the new GXP can challenge the best. The 4.6L DOHC 32-valve Northstar
V-8 engine kicks out an estimated 275 horsepower (205 kw) and
300 lb.-ft. (406 Nm) of torque - enough to pass semi-trailer rigs
without even breathing hard. And when the throttle opens up, the
performance-tuned dual exhausts let out a pleasing rumble from
the big V-8, letting the driver know just where the power is coming
from.
The GXP's
performance-tuned handling package includes a four-wheel independent
suspension, StabiliTrak electronic stability system and an electronically
controlled transaxle with a 3.71 final drive gear. Stopping power
is handled by standard four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. Pontiac
also has mounted 18-inch V-rated performance tires on styled aluminum
wheels, adding superior grip at the corners.
The GXP's
interior is as luxurious as its mechanicals are performance-minded.
Suede inserts adorn the seats and door panels; the shifter handle
is brushed aluminum; carbon-fiber trim is abundant and the interior
switches are a rich ebony. Standard memory bucket seats on the
GXP model include power lumbar and power recliner controls on
the driver's seat. The GXP includes a center console storage with
rear heating/cooling outlets. Driver and front-passenger side-impact
air bags and dual-zone climate control with individual climate
settings for the driver and front passenger are standard with
this top-of-the-line model.
A CD player
and Monsoon eight-speaker sound system rivaling many great home
systems also are a part of the GXP.
Well-equipped
SE and SLE
The base model Bonneville SE combines the performance of the
3800 3.8L Series II V-6, rated at 205 horsepower (153 kw) and
230 lb.-ft. (312 Nm) of torque, with room to carry five or six
passengers in comfort. This well-equipped vehicle model offers
standard features like driver- and front-passenger air bags, a
floor console and electronic cruise control. Bonneville SE also
features power door locks, full instrumentation, remote keyless
entry, rear-seat passthrough, an AM/FM stereo with CD player,
a theft-deterrent alarm system, a tire-inflation monitor and power
windows with an express-down feature for the driver and front
passenger.
Bonneville
SE owners who are looking for a higher level of content in their
vehicle will find SE's 1SC Preferred Equipment Group ideal. It
adds the 3.05 performance axle ratio, one year of OnStar Safe
& Sound service, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio
controls, all-speed traction control, a six-way power driver's
seat and front leather seating surfaces.
Drivers preferring
to move up to the Bonneville SLE receive a standard driver information
center, one year of OnStar's Safe & Sound service, 17-inch
five-spoke aluminum wheels, all-speed traction control, heated
power exterior mirrors, a 3.05 performance axle ratio and a rear
deck spoiler.
XM Satellite
Radio (continental U.S. only) is available on all Bonneville models.
XM Satellite Radio provides 100 coast-to-coast, digital-quality
channels of original music, news, sports and talk. Consumers can
subscribe to the basic service for $9.99 a month - less than the
cost of a single CD. In addition, GM customers with GMAC financing
can choose to include the XM subscription in their car payments.
Pontiac's
Bonneville models deliver a bold, exciting alternative to traditional
luxury. Exceptional comfort and performance is a part of every
model, with the new GXP model providing consumers the ultimate
experience of just how rewarding a full-size sports touring sedan
really can be.
