Grand Prix GTP has an understated look, with the same size wheels as other models and only a few small side badges to differentiate it. All '97 Grands Prix get Pontiac's trademark twin-kidney grille,
The twin-kidney grille is found on every '97 Grand Prix.
1997 Grand Prix's wheelbase has been lengthened three inches to 110.5 inches.
All new for 1997, we think the Grand Prix is now one of the best-looking domestic four-doors on the market.
A bit plasticky but all the modern conveniences, including a head-up display showing vehicle speed and radio-station choice, along with steering-wheel-mounted radio controls.
The transmission is a four-speed automatic. The leather bucket seats adjust nicely but could use some more lateral support.
The engine is a V-6 with an Eaton supercharger that makes 240 horsepower—up from 215 hp in the 1996 model year.
Tires are Goodyear Eagle RS-A, sized 225/60HR-16.
