Yet another mighty challenge. I love the GP. But, to my eye, it looks a little bloated (not by much) next to the Riviera. The Riv looks longer, lower, and sleeker to me.

Riviera for me too. To me this is an underappreciated design, and it's beautiful. The GP is a touch heavy; its best days as a full size are behind it, if only by a year.

Don't care for the Buick styling.

Pontiac styling is better than the Buick.
