be: Performance, roominess, comfort, handling, features and a certain swagger to its stance. Best of all, the Grand

Prix won't hammer a budget to smithereens.

In many ways, the Grand Prix rises above the mainstream. It has a muscular, competent and aggressive look that

attracts assertive personalities without intimidating others. It's an eye-catcher from front to rear. The Grand Prix

was originally designed as a coupe, then the sedan was derived from that. So the coupe and sedan share the roof panel

and rear window. This design gives the coupe the room of a sedan, and the sedan the grace of a coupe.

The latest-generation Grand Prix marked a return to that old, familiar Pontiac "Wide Track" theme. Compared

to most other sedans, the Grand Prix has a significantly wider track width and the fenders have been noticeably

flared to cover the tires. That wide track contributes to superior handling, and the flared fenders add to the

aggressive look. Overall, the Grand Prix offers sedan buyers a stylish alternative to conservative-looking sedans.
