Is Pontiac just trying to sell more 4.6 V-8's by dropping the 3.8 SC on theBonneville or what? The engine was perfect for the car.Lee C. Carpenter'00 SSEi'95 GA SE

I think it's supposed to fit in with the Pontiac image better. That and theystarted making more by adding more cars to Cadillac's lineup that uses theNorthstar. And I also believe that they're starting to phase out the 3800and within a few years (say 5 or 6) I don't think it'll be as common as itis or even in use anymore.

This reminds me of an old internet chain letter (fwd:joke, whatever)that listed how expensive dozens of other things we use are "per gallon" and went on to show that gas is cheap!I believe Evian water was all the rage back then.GWMicah wrote:
