For $75/month, get the GT. You'll kick yourself if you don't.

The difference does add up though, between GAS/ Insurance/ Payments.. All together i would say its somewhere between a difference of 100-150 dollars a month between the two... Am i right?
That depends on you insurance rates, how much you drive it and your lease agreement. All things we can't guess

The insurance on my 08 GT/CS is exactly the same as my 2000 Grand Prix, which was my trade in. I'm surprised myself since it's so cheap

I say get the gt. The gas mileage on mine is around 28, MOSTLY highway driving. I LOVE MY CAR! I was going to get a v6 but glad I got the gt!

Yeah, the insurance on my GT was $2 more a month than my 2005 Dodge Dakota. Plus the MPG difference is not that significant between the GT and the V6. Just look at the window stickers on both cars.

I have already quoted my insurance and the difference monthly would be about 10-20 bucks.. which isnt a great deal but when added to the rest does add up.

the lease will be for either 2 or 3 years.i have to work out the numbers at another dealer... i did go to one dealer and i got numbers on a loaded 6 and a loaded GT and the difference was somewhere around 75 give or take.. thats where i got that number from....

during the week i do not drive much at all. I have about a 5 mile commute round trip. during the weekend i drive a little more but bot much at all....

I noticed that the window stickers makes it out to not be much of a difference between the GT and the 6, but arent teh window stickers not accurate...

i mean if someone is getting 28mpg, even if its mainly highway, i know the window stickers dont state that...

I have a GT Convertible and am very happy with it. It will be hard for you not to add your own personal touches to the car. You may want to consider buying this one.
