1985 Pontiac Grand Prix

In the “bring back” section of this article, I mentioned the 1988 Chevy Monte Carlo and the 1987 Buick GNX, both solid muscle cars built on the same platform. Now it’s time to meet the platform’s blacksheep, the 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix. While the GNX and Monte Carlo were stylish, the Grand Prix looks stale and boring. And while the GNX was a proper race machine, and the Monte Carlo offered solid performance, the Grand Prix was best suited for fetching groceries. So why did the Grand Prix even exist? Couldn’t tell you.
