Did anyone catch the huge gap inbetween the hood and grille? Anyone care to wager a bet? I'm putting it at .75".

lmao. who gives a crap about gaps? Soon people will be nitpicking about the texture of the door seams or crap like that.
overall looks matter more - in this case the new sunfire loses (IMO)

Wide and uneven panel gaps are evidence of poor build quality and low quality tolerances...a hallmark of GM cars.

You should see the new Saturn VUE. I saw one today on the highway, and I swear the panel gaps were AT LEAST 1" wide. :Q:Q:Q
I can't believe people buy cars with gaps like that... my VW was a similar price to a VUE and the gaps are .25" at most.

The only bad part of that car is the headlights, thats what makes it look bad. The rest of the body IMO is very sleak and stylish, I like it.

Hey, it's not anywhere near as ugly as this thing.
FYI, Pontiac Sunfire sales were up 20% last month. Pontiac knows their customer, and this is what their customer likes. For those that don't like this, GM also offers the Cavalier, the Saturn S-series, and - later on this year - 1 or 2 small Daewoos sold under the "Suzuki" brand. For those that don't like any of GM's compacts, I don't think they care, because this not a core part of their business strategy. Never has been; never will be. That said, GM still sells more compacts than anyone else.
This model will only last 2 years, as GM is putting out a new model in 2005 and investing $400 million to retool the plant in the meantime.

I see no unusual gap. Looks fine to me. Wood you rather the front end be welded shut so that you can't open the hood?
Wha? The Corolla is a hell of a lot more stylish than the Sunfire, with the exception of the side ground-effects on the S model that look like they were scavenged out of the Z24 Cavalier parts bin. I'm not particularly crazy about those, they could have blended them into the rocker panels more seemlessly instead of making them look as though they are a crappy aftermarket bolt-on.Hey, it's not anywhere near as ugly as this thing.

I have to agree the front end sucks like so many of Pontiac's offerings. Since front and rear ends are the most easily changed item on the car, we can only hope that Pontiac does a little massaging in the next model year.

Massaging?? That ugly motherf*&ker needs reconstructive surgery
