For me, the car is Meh. I do however respect the car for what it can do, and what it is. But it's just not a car that does much for me personally. So, in that I'm entitled to my own opinion about it as well. Even if that plays against your heart strings if someone doesn't like it.

I do however disagree with your opinion of the GN/GNX, but that's why the forum works. We're allowed to think.

opinions are fine, you seemed uninformed as to the status of the gnX and the fact it's super rare and huge bucks.
Frankly your the first guy in history to look at a gnX and say Meh.
For those that can appreciate the "X" I'll post more info on the history.
and here is the actual car thats for sale

Don't be so close minded... I know what the GNX is, and how it effected American history... blah, blah...
Don't let your love for these cars make you blind. There are people who know something about these cars that still don't care for them.
Like I said, I respect them for what they are and what they can do... but that's as far as it goes for me.
I have no interest owning one.

To be honest I wouldn't own one unless I was a millionaire with a bunch of cars... why own something you can't drive??
I'll stick to my modded out GN,it wont turn but I have 90% of the cars on the street covered.

See that's another thing... Even if a car was a classic, I'd be driving it...
I don't believe in cars being garage/show queens... rare or not... they were built to be driven... it's a waste if you don't IMO.

The low mile show cars are in a temprature controlled environment. I think the'll lasta long time, they'll be worth a million bux some day.... the one owned by the ASC president (only car with a factory moon roof installed) sold for $150k this year, so give it another 20 years....
I love pounding the miles on my GN, it's a blast to drive, I wouldn't own it if I could only look at it...

OHHH WOW A GNX!!!

so are you buying the car to enjoy it? or are you planning to start a doll collection like your wife, just to look at them and pray one day they will be worth millions.
I totally agree with Notorious on this one, drive the bitch.

The Fact remains that 99% of the 547 GNXs do not and will not see much road use, many are in collections and museums and many more are just being stored until the big payday...
I also agree, to nice a car not to drive.. I will continue to pound the miles onto my GN
But $75200k has to be a record for a Gbody...
