GRAND AM—Restyled this year, the Grand Am comes in just two flavors, SE and GT. The GTgets all the performance goodies of last year’s SE, including the 180-hp twin-cam Quad 4 engine.

Traction control is available on all Bonnevilles. Pontiac assures us that the heated windshield option won't diminish the effectiveness of a radar detector.
