The mid-size Grand Prix is one of the few "old" models in Pontiac 's almost all-new lineup and is basically a carryover for 2007. Five new exterior colors are available, as are chrome-plated 17-inch wheels and a new standard tire pressure monitoring system. The Grand Prix shares its front-drive platform with the Buick LaCrosse and comes powered in its standard form by a 200-horsepower 3.8-liter V-6 engine. The step-up GTP model offers a supercharged 3.8-liter V-6 that generates a brisk 260 horsepower and includes an enhanced traction control system. A four-speed, automatic transmission is included with both engines. Meanwhile, the range-topping GXP model comes with a potent 5.3-liter V-8 that generates 303 horsepower. This engine includes Active Fuel Management Technology, which enables it to sip up to 12 percent less fuel by deactivating half of the engine's cylinders when they're not needed, such as at cruising speeds. The four-speed automatic transmission used with the GXP is sport-calibrated and allows aggressive manual gear changes via Formula-One racing style "TAPShift" controls on the steering wheel. The GXP also has a firm-riding sport-tuned suspension, with StabiliTrak stability control included.

    2007 GP

    I just bought a 2007 Grand Prix and I like it. It is not the coolest car around and the dashboard is made with cheap materials. But the body panels and interior are all flush and consistent and the car feels very solid. I bought it for quality over substance and think I have a ride that should go for a long time.
