2008 Pontiac Grand Prix (continued)
|
|
|
Summary
The Pontiac Grand Prix is fun to drive yet a utilitarian transporter of people and things. The GXP is the hot rod with driving enjoyment and character. The standard model with the V6 is well worth consideration as an enjoyable sports sedan and more sensible in its overall balance.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Kirk Bell contributed to this report, with editor Mitch McCullough in Los Angeles.
