a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that produces 260 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The uniquely

The Grand Prix is Pontiac’s midsize sedan but the Grand Prix name was introduced in the early ‘60s
as a large, sporty coupe. In the late ‘60s, the Grand Prix was one of the fastest in its class with an
available 390-horsepower V8 engine, but during the ‘70s the Grand Prix was downsized. In 1988, the
car was completely redesigned as a front-wheel-drive model 4-door sedan. Totally redesigned once
again in 1997, Grand Prix adopted a muscular, aggressive look in both coupe and sedan versions.
The ninth-generation Grand Prix sedan went on sale in spring, 2003.
New for 2008

incorporates distinctive Pontiac styling cues. For 2008 the high-performance GXP is added to the

3.6-liter V6 delivers 250 lb-ft of torque and is mated to a six-speed transmission. Pontiac claims a 0 to
