Summary
For buyers who need, or want, four doors, but can't bear the thought of bland mainstream styling and lukewarm performance, the new Pontiac Grand Prix sedan offers an attractive alternative. And, perhaps best of all, it's a genuine lotta-car-for-your-dollar value. We think it's great to see the Wide Track back on the road.
