Re: alternative to the bonneville
I already own my alternative!
I had actually looked at a 98 Bonneville SE before I bought my LeSabre. I liked it but it had cloth and was fairly basic...had a lot of convenience and appearance options though, but they were asking way too much...then I found my loaded French sword for a much better price and jumped on it.

Re: alternative to the bonneville
I thought I would enjoy the alternative more than what I do - the 00 GTP. Not overly impressed with it.
If I had to do it all over again, I would go after an Impala LS with the L36. The GTP just isn't for me, but does the job for the time being.
