2005 Pontiac Grand Am Review
Retail sales of the sedan body style cease during 2005 as Pontiac begins to phase-in Grand Am's replacement, a new car called the G6. Grand Am now offers only coupes in GT and GT1 trim. They come with a 175-hp V6, automatic transmission, traction control, and antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. SC/T option packages include such features as a hood made of a plasticlike composite material, plus rear spoiler, chrome wheels and exhaust tips, SC/T logos, and satellite radio. The last is also a separate option, as is a CD/MP3 player. Side airbags are not offered.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Midsize Cars represent the heart of the U.S. car market. Most are price-sensitive, conservatively designed, family oriented sedans and wagons.

Our Best Buys include the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Our Recommended picks include the Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Mazda 6, Nissan Altima, and Subaru Outback and Legacy.
News
Detroit dirt-diggers say Pontiac will keep building Grand Am sedans for rental fleets and such as long as demand holds up. Grand Am coupes reportedly hang on until early in 2005, when they're set to be replaced by sporty 2-dr versions of the just-introduced G6 sedan.
