93 Grand Prix Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 In everyone's opinion, Which 1st generation W-body looks the best from the factory? Which one appeals to you the most? Only factory equipment available. Quote
89BuickRegalGS Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 damn, thats not cool, i can't vote for 2 cars! I think the Grand Prix and the Buick Regal are both awesome looking cars. The Buick Regal I think of as more a sports touring styles car ( in the 2 door) and the Grand Prix I think of more a sporty coupe car (in the 2 door of course) Quote
ctx46 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 I think there all great looking cars..... but Im really fond of first gen GTP's, I just love the way they look, so I bought 1 yay! Quote
gimp19 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 I'm just gonna list my opinion in best to worst order starting with coupe's: 1. 94-96 Grand Prix's 2. Regal Gransport 3. Lumina Z-34 4. Cutlass Now for sedans: 1. Cutlass 2. Lumina 3. Regal 4. Grand Prix I just noticed after I finshed the list that they go in opposite order thats pretty f!@#ed up Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 Cutlass Supreme coupe w/factory ground-effects, for its high-tech look with the hidden "C" pillar, clean and smooth curves, great profile, and understated sportiness. For factory equipment, Cutlass has the best useful options: Auto Climate Control, best DIC. Grand Prix Turbo coupe w/B4U for its aggressive styling that's unmistakeably American, and I like the composite headlamps w/yellow fogs and rear tails with amber signals which give it a very European flair. Those are my two favs. My ratings list would be almost the opposite of gpimp's: Coupes: 1. Cutlass Int'l 2. GP w/B4U 3. Regal GS (places higher than Z34 due to factory equipment) 4. Lumina Z34 (nice swoopy looks but not enough toys) Sedans: 1. GP (Turbo STE) 2. Cutlass Int'l 3. Regal GS 4. Lumina Quote
gimp19 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 With some mod's cuttlass coupes would rank 1rst or 2nd on my list the red cutlass on the very first page of youre site is a perfect example. I think cutlass coupes need to be wrapped in extermly dark tint to look right Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 IMO all cars need tint to look right. The one at the top of the page is just my car with rims and tint. Quote
gmrulz4u Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 They're all just SO sexy:) I was going to try and make a list, but it was just TOO difficult... Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 I hear that! I'm soooo tempted to add a Regal GS coupe to my collection. Must resist! Not enough space! Gotta move out into the country. Quote
Brian P Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 Best to worst: coupe: Cutlass *intl---base model '92+ are #5 Grand Prix Lumina Regal (except GS which would be tied with #2) Sedan: Regal *with 94+ rear Lumina Cutlass Grand Prix Quote
ismellrealbad Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 illl be the first to admit first gen 4 grand prix's are the ugliest godforsaken things ive ever seen in my life. i know first hand i owned one and even i'd admit it was ugly (and yet i still liked it, in a sentimental sort of way i guess heheh. heres my list FULLY loaded 2dr grand prix 88-96 lumina z34 Regal and cutty ties for 3rd....this doesnt mean bad, just such a slight margain between 2nd and 3rd they ended up being 3rd. also because i dont know much about their options and changes between the years base 2door all are ugly and suck 4 door loaded or base -also all ugly imo cutty lum grand prix Quote
gimp19 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 IMO all cars need tint to look right. . Most cars look 2x better with tint and Cutlass's look 10x better. Quote
gimp19 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 The one at the top of the page is just my car with rims and tint. I'm talking about the all red pic on the first page, it looks the same but with out silver ground fx. They are both nice pic's but I perfer the all red look its sweet. Quote
Redfox340 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 Even though I love the under-driven styling of my Cutlass, the best results have come from the Lumina Z34's. When debadged and cleaned up, it looks like they weren't made in the early 90's... To this day I still drool for SuperBuick's "Z". However, I like the interior of the Grand Prix over all of them. The red-lit dash and controls are more user friendly when rounded off... But, I still appriciate, to even this day, my Cutlass. It's has aspects of all the W-Body cars, unfortunatly it doesn't stand out like the rest of the 'flashy' crowd. - RedFox340 Quote

Oh, that one is my first Photoshop hack. It's been butchered all over. The body kit is a result of Photoshop's smearing tool. Quote
DEMonte1997 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 whatever Cutlass that came with the 3.4.. followed by the Lummie Z34 and then the Grand Prix GTP Quote
toastemcutlass Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 Hey gimp how can you say no to this face Quote
SuperBuick Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 To this day I still drool for SuperBuick's "Z" Thanks man!!! -Tom PS: When can I be car of the month again - only this time with the Z34!!!! Quote
gimp19 Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 Oh, that one is my first Photoshop hack.It's been butchered all over. The body kit is a result of Photoshop's smearing tool. Thats my favorite part of the car too I must be blind or somthin :dammit: Quote
gimp19 Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 Hey gimp how can you say no to this face I like cutlass coupes I just think the require alittle more exterior work the other W-body's. Quote
Justin Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 1. 88-91 CS 2. 88+ Regal 3. 91-96 GP 4. 92-97 CS 5. 88-90 GP 6. 90-94 Lumina (my dad owning one doesn't help the Chev's out much...) note: Gen 1 only. Actually after the 88-91 CS and the Regals, all the others are neck in neck. Quote
