A lot of little things like that get changed halfway through model years.
Quite true, and thats a very good point. I'm sure it is a 2005, but most likely a very early build. FWIW, consider the chrome bezels, totally sets off the interior (I've yet to do it, but its on my list - while I decide to either expand my photography gear or modify my GTP #-o )
Don't you just hate deciding between hobbies?

I'm off tomorrow and it is supposed to be nice out...hopefully I can have a good photoshoot. The fall colours around here will make for a good back drop. :)

Nice GP! Congrats! The Bonne will be missed.

I'm way over my 94, though I still wish I had it as a winter car.

Good pictures! I wish mine had the quad tips instead of the stupid single outs the previous owner had put on. Gotta admit though, the 04+ GP's has a mug only a mother could love!

More good shots. I think that's the first time I've seen a S/C'd Series III.

Thanks for the pics. I rode in one of those once. It was pretty dandy. Back seat only, and no crazy stuff. It's a very smooth and quiet car from what I remember, and based on a few other GPs I've ridden in/driven. I think it's also a first for me that I've seen a Series 3 engine. As for the style, it grows on me every time I see it. It's still not as slick as the older GPs, but it's conventional enough while still being sporty and mean looking.
