1997 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi Sedan

My Bonne Doesn't lie over the ocean (sorry, had to go there) what an awesome vehicle! Comfortable, stylish, fast, performs great and has great road feel. The Bonneville's had always done a great job combining sportiness and comfort. The SSEi is the pinnacle of the form (at least for 1997) and luckily mine is loaded up and raring to go. The 3800 engine is reasonably powerful enough in base form and the one in my Buick had been very capable normally aspirated (non supercharged) add the supercharger and whoosh! She GOES! I'll be honest, doesn't get the great fuel economy the Regal had, but it is considerably larger and with the supercharger it has extra performance to boot plus as a loaded SSEi has a greater long-term collectibility (OK, enthusiast) factor.
