Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Few people are crazy about the aging Grand Prix styling. Described as "muscular" and "bold" when it first appeared in late 2003, the current model is now more of a relic of American automobile design.

When the Grand Prix was last redesigned for the 2004 model year, the Washington Post described it as "bold enough to upset the timid and seduce the wild." Kelley Blue Book compared it to other cars from a bygone era, saying, "If you like the strong lines found on the former Bonneville and Grand Am, you'll like the look of the Grand Prix."

The 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix comes with two trim styles; both are four-door sedans that look similar to each other. The base model comes with 16-inch wheels and the GXP comes with 18-inch performance tires and a sport-tuned suspension.
