2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Review
The 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix loses a trim level and its supercharged engine. This is the larger of Pontiac's two midsize sedans. Grand Prix seats five and comes in base and high-performance GXP trims. Base models have a 200-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine, and GXPs use a 303-hp 5.3-liter V8. The mid-level GT trim with its supercharged engine has been discontinued. Base and GXP have a 4-speed automatic transmission. The V8 has GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation system. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and curtain side airbags. The 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix is available with a navigation system and leather upholstery.
Competition
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 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 Honda Accord and Kia Rondo. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Mazda 5, Mercury Milan, Nissan Altima, Saturn Aura, and Toyota Camry.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Chevrolet Malibu, Dodge Avenger, Honda Accord, and Mazda 5.
