| | 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. |
 | | And speaking of AWD, the Grand Prix G8 concept car that was snuck into the Chicago Auto Show with no fanfare made folks stop in their tracks when they found the AWD sedan hidden in the display. |
 | | 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. |
