2004 Pontiac Grand Am Review
Grand Am for 2004 includes sedans in SE and uplevel SE1 and SE2 trim. Coupes and sedans are available in sportier GT and GT1 guise. SE and SE1 have a 4-cyl engine and manual or automatic transmission. A V6 with automatic transmission is standard for SE2 and available for SE1. GTs have a "Ram Air" V6 with slightly more power. ABS and traction control are a $400 option for SE and SE1, but are standard elsewhere. GTs have rear disc brakes vs. drums on other models. All Grand Ams have satellite radio as an option. Grand Am shares its basic design with the Oldsmobile Alero, which will be dropped after the 2004 model year. Newly available for all models except SE is an MP3 option that upgrades the existing CD player to read discs recorded in MP3 format.
News
A redesigned Grand Am bows for 2005 under the new G6 label. Already previewed in concept form, G6 shares a front-drive platform with the 9-3 from GM-owned Saab. The Chevy Malibu also shares this Epsilon platform, but the sportier G6 will target the enthusiast-driver crowd. Sedans bow this fall, but with no G6 equivalent to the Malibu Maxx hatchback. Coupes reportedly follow in early 2005, and there's talk of a retractable-hardtop convertible for '06. Higher-performance GXP models are also said to be in the works. We should have more info soon, so keep checking back with us.
