2002 Grand Prix Review Summary & Specifications
Pontiac has taken a lot of unfair raps for limited engineering refinement. But the Grand Prix doesn't pretend to be a BMW. The GTP, especially, is a very good effort: fast but not too fast, sporty but not too sporty, with excellent handling within limits, and great brakes. Despite some body gimmicks it's wonderfully sculpted and sleek, yet roomy inside.
