Now completely removed from the monster that was the 1973 original, the Grand Am entered its fifth generation of production in 199, when a full redesign saw the emergence of a very good looking compact car with a wide range of options and engine specifications.

With music taking preference over a roaring engine as we entered the 21st Century it was no surprise that the Grand Am received not only an up market CD player, but the wonders of MP3, too. Comfort and pandering was never short in the fifth generation Grand Am, and this endeared the model to many.

the compact Grand Am models provided affordable and comfortable motoring in some style, and were reliable and enjoyable motor cars; the original Grand Am is, and always will be, a throw back to the muscle car days, and will be held in wonder for that reason alone
