1997 Pontiac Grand Prix Review

The American sport sedan redefined.

1997 Grand Prix Review Summary & Specifications

For buyers who need, or want, four doors, but can't bear the thought

of bland mainstream styling and lukewarm performance, the new Pontiac Grand

Prix sedan offers an attractive alternative. And, perhaps best of all,

it's a genuine lotta-car-for-your-dollar value. We think it's great to

see the Wide Track back on the road.
