The Pontiac Grand Prix, a mid-size, front-engine, front-wheel drive car, was produced by General Motors from 1962 to 2008. The 2004-2008 model years marked the final generation of the Grand Prix, featuring a sleeker, more modern design compared to its predecessors. During this period, the Grand Prix was offered in three trim levels: the base model, the GT, and the GXP. While the base model served as the standard option, the GT offered sportier styling and a more powerful engine, while the GXP, introduced in 2006, was the performance-oriented trim level. The 2004-2008 Grand Prix was powered by a 3.8L V6 engine producing 200 horsepower in the base model, 240 horsepower in the GT, and 260 horsepower in the GXP. The GXP model also featured a revised suspension and larger brakes for enhanced handling and stopping power.
The 2004-2008 Grand Prix was known for its comfortable interior, spacious cabin, and advanced features such as a navigation system, a premium sound system, and heated seats. The vehicle was also equipped with a variety of safety features including airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control. Despite its positive aspects, the Grand Prix faced criticism for its lack of technological advancements and its dated design compared to its rivals. The 2008 model year marked the end of the line for the Grand Prix, with General Motors discontinuing the model due to declining sales and the shift towards smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. The Pontiac brand itself was eliminated in 2010, further marking the end of an era for the Grand Prix. However, the 2004-2008 Grand Prix remains a popular choice for car enthusiasts seeking a reliable, stylish, and affordable mid-size car.
