 CNN.com - Grand Am review - Mar. 21, 2001
Grand Am, which was a midsize rear-wheel-drive vehicle between 1973 and 1984, became a compact front-wheel-drive machine in 1985, though what was called a midsize vehicle in the `70s and early `80s would be called full-size today, and what was a compact in the mid- to late-`80s, is considered midsize today.
Grand Am's last major remake was in 1999 when it became a little longer and wider and therefore roomier and added wide tracking to improve handling.
You aren't going to take a Grand Prix from the light, but you aren't going to suck the exhaust from a Ford Focus or Dodge Neon or Chevy Cavalier (which happens to be the only model that outsells Grand Am in the GM family), either.
