Pontiac adds fuel-wise V-8 to Grand Prix line
For the folks in my line of work and possibly lots of civilians as well, no car fell as short of its hype in 2003 as the Pontiac Grand Prix. Many of my colleagues actually felt betrayed by the Grand Prix, since they heard about its supposed charms from one of their idols -- GM's vice-chairman of product development, Bob Lutz. In point of fact, the auto writers; general opinion of the Grand Prix was so below what Lutz had promised that many of them began to reconsider his divine status and wonder about GM's chances of building ever-better cars under his aegis.
