I agree now after reading two reports.

Red cars get hotter in the sun than black cars.

i still think the interior of a black vehicle will get hotter then that of a white vehicle, due to black attracting light/heat, and white reflecting it away. if you vehicle is getting more light/heat drawn towards it then the inside of the vehicle will have the same

im almost certain if you graduated high school you know how colors react to light it is a fact that black absorbs light/heat rather than reflect it .. if you have a black car its a fact to get hotter than say a silver car ... although black is my favorite color car ...

Black for sure. I've had terrible luck with white cars (no idea why it seems to effect that color), and silver on some cars just seems to old-persony. I think the GP would be one of those cars.

I'm not saying that it's not going to get hot...I just think that because of conduction if you leave your car out long enough to get hot as fawk, it will go through the windows anyway (or metal, or anything) and the temperature will equalize.

Black cars will probably get hotter faster, because they absorb more, but it's the same sun and the same temperature that is trying to get into the other car.

I'm glad your dumbass is here, because I enjoy arguing with people, especially when they don't even have a point.

I liked my Silver 07 Accord V6 6MT:

But it died a horrible death:

But I like my Mustang better:

I had a total of FIVE white vehicles and will NEVER own another white car! They were: a 1981 Chevy Malibu, 1984 Ford Crown Victoria, 2000 Ford F-150, a 2000 Honda Accord V6 EX, and a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan Wheelchair Van for my now deceased wife.

All I can say about black cars is that my cousin used to have a black BMW 325i and he was always washing, waxing, or dusting his car. It didn't get as hot as you think it would because that crazy fool had 3 layers of 5% tint on every window except the windshield where he had a 50% layer installed. The dumbass totaled his 325i street racing with a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. Come to think of it that focker still owes me money for my 2 10" Kicker Comps and the Punch 150 that stayed in the car after he totaled it.

sweet gt ...

i wish my car was black but its light blue //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ... heat shouldnt be a determing factor in buying a car anyway .. ... its on buyer opinion .. what ever you like buy it its your money your opinion and so your choice .. 3800 IS a good engine no matter what anyone says .. Pontiac's are generally a good car although its proven grand prix's AC sytems crap out 6/10 over a few years.. just fo a google search and you are bound to find edless info backing this up ...

the problems that he is talking about where more common where the series II 3800. on the series III they changed the intake gaskets so that they do not leak as often as the the one in my car. that's the more common problem on grand prixs more than an oil leak. i dont have time right now i have to go to work but look on clupgp.com
