The mid-size four-door will inherit a version of GM's 5.3-liter V-8, re-engineered for front-drive use, in the new Grand Prix GXP. In this installation it makes 290 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, and is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The GXP also gets 12 percent better fuel economy than it would without Pontiac's first use of Displacement on Demand, technology that shuts off a bank of cylinders under light driving loads. Pontiac pegs the 0-60 time for the GXP at roughly 6 seconds. New styling tweaks, including new front and rear fascias, 18-inch wheels, and new interior trim distinguish the model, for which pricing hasn't been announced. Sales begin in the first quarter of 2005.
