Pontiac's full-size sedan is redesigned for 2000 with new styling but carried-over powertrains. Front side airbags are among new standard features, and General Motors' StabiliTrak antiskid system is included on the top-line model.

Wheelbase and overall length increase nearly two inches, but interior leg room is unchanged and head room shrinks slightly.

SE, SLE, and SSEi models are offered. All come with front bucket seats, but the SE offers an optional bench for 6-passenger capacity. The only engine is a 3.8-liter V6. SE and SLE models have 205 horsepower, the supercharged SSEi 240. The only transmission is a 4-speed automatic. Traction control is standard on SSEi, optional elsewhere. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes replace a disc/drum setup, and a tire-inflation monitor is a new standard feature on SLE and SSEi. SSEi's StabiliTrak is designed to selectively brake the front wheels to counteract skids in turns. SSEi models also come with GM's EyeCue head-up display, which projects main instrument readings onto the windshield, and GM's OnStar assistance system.
