K5 GT or GT-Line?
The GT costs $5,100 more in starting MSRP than the GT-Line ($33,790 vs. $28,690). For that it swaps the 186-hp 2.5L for a 290-hp 2.5L turbo with an 8-speed dual-clutch and adds sport-tuned suspension, larger brakes, 19-inch wheels, a standard panoramic sunroof and paddle shifters. The GT-Line is the K5 to pick if you want all-wheel drive: the GT is front-wheel drive only.
