From the August 1997 issue of Car and Driver.When Pontiac's 300GPX concept sedan made its debut at the 1995 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the company promised that the next-generation Grand Prix, due out as a 1997 model, would closely follow the GPX's swoopy pop-bottle styling cues. Of course, we've heard that before.
There's also a helpful, unobtrusive head-up display of vehicle speed and radio station: Add that to the steering-wheel-mounted radio controls, and there's little reason to take your eyes off the road. Under hard, standing-start acceleration, the GTP exhibits enough torque steer to get your attention, but it isn't profoundly dramatic. Handling is certainly acceptable, but GTP buyers may wish for a slightly stiffer suspension.
