"We also had a fun development drive out west. We took off from Phoenix in three Grand Nationals and the two prototype GNXs. We were pushing hard going north toward the Grand Canyon, full-out all the way up through Nevada, where some local cops escorted us at high speeds. We spent the night in Vegas, then headed across to Santa Maria, California, and stopped at Death Valley. The difference in handling between the Grand National and the GNX was night-and-day."

I've always wanted one of them.
Is it known what happened to the two prototypes?

How cool is this!
I heard MANY of these stories from Tim Logsdon first hand-as I worked with him at RideNow. He gave me the model below when I bought my Chevelle-I think he was as happy as I was when I bought it! He and I set up a lot of dealer bike demos. He had a great career at GM...worked with a bunch of cool folks. He told me he wished that he and I could have worked at GM together....he thought I would have done really well. He also gave me one of the commercials that they did for the GN (Maybe the GNX) on VHS. I will have to find it and burn it to MP4... I will try and reach out and see if I can get in touch with him...
