Bold bodywork with elaborate cladding is destined to draw attention to this sporty compact. The designers have put pseudo-aerodynamic ribs everywhere: starting at the front bumper, wrapping around the front fenders, sweeping back along the doors and rear fenders and finally around the rear bumper. The rib motif is echoed through the side mirrors and the optional rear spoiler. It all works together to give the Grand Am a sporty look. Body-colored door handles and side moldings further support the theme. Add cats-eye headlamps, a twin-port grille, round driving lamps and that wide track stance and there's no question this is a Pontiac.Small round cornering lamps positioned on the edges of the rear bumper are designed to complement the standard backup lights; they direct a beam at a 45 degree angle from the side and rear of the vehicle. They should help illuminate ditches and other obstructions when backing up at night.
