2007 Pontiac Grand Prix: The Lineup Settles, a Special Edition Added

This record's own dek states that the 2007 line was Grand Prix, GT and GXP, with the supercharged 3.8 in the GT and the LS4 V8 in the GXP. This record's own overview states that the compiled engine tables list a 3.8-liter V6 at 200 hp and 230 lb-ft, a supercharged 3.8-liter V6 at 260 hp and 280 lb-ft, and the 5.3-liter LS4 V8 at 303 hp and 323 lb-ft, all SAE net as compiled with no rpm given; it also states that GM's own 2007 press text lists the Grand Prix, Grand Prix GT and Grand Prix GXP, the 200-hp 3.8 V6, the 260-hp supercharged 3.8 in the GT, and in the GXP a 5.3-liter V8 with Active Fuel Management at 303 hp and 323 lb-ft driving through a Hydra-Matic 4T65 four-speed automatic, with five new colors and a $1,995 special-edition package added for the year.^1,2

This record's own keyFacts section is empty for the year, so the overview's own three paragraphs carry the whole of this record's account of the lineup, powertrains and changes. This record's own production section carries a single row, 87,622 US sales for calendar year 2007, credited to automakers and the Automotive News Data Center and explicitly noted as calendar-year sales of all Grand Prix trims mixing model years rather than model-year production; its own notes state plainly that no model-year production figure was found. This record's own unpublishedLeads and conflicts sections are both empty for the year, leaving no disputed figure and no forum-sourced lead on record.³

This record's own prices section carries three MSRPs from pontiac.com's own November 13, 2006 capture, with destination not stated: $22,430 for the Grand Prix sedan, $25,350 for the GT with an example shown at $25,900, and $29,430 for the GXP with an example shown at $29,545, the highest of the three base prices this record's own overview names for the year's lineup.

This record's own engines section carries the three entries matching the overview: the 3.8-liter standard on the base Grand Prix sedan, the supercharged 3.8-liter standard on the GT, and the LS4 5.3-liter V8 with Active Fuel Management standard on the GXP. This record's own transmissions section lists two entries, the Hydra-Matic 4T65 electronically controlled four-speed automatic specific to the GXP per the GM press text, and a four-speed electronically controlled overdrive automatic as the only transmission generally, with TAPshift paddles on the GXP and four EPA vehicle records covering the three engines.^1,4,2,5

This record's own options section itemizes the $1,995 Special Edition package from the press text and a fuller spec-sheet description of the same package, body-color grille inserts, front and rear fascia extensions, side aero channels, dual bright exhaust tips and 17-inch 18-spoke Midnight Silver wheels, restricted to Ivory White, Black, Stealth Gray Metallic or Liquid Silver Metallic paint; a Sport Package; and a Preferred Package, Premium Package, Security Package and Sun and Sound Package all drawn from the same spec sheet.^2,4

This record's own paint table lists ten colors, and this record's own interiors section carries a single entry, the Premium Package's own leather-appointed heated front bucket seats with dual-zone automatic air conditioning. This record's own specifications section carries a single entry, an approximate 17-gallon fuel tank, 16.0 cubic feet of trunk space, five-passenger seating and a 1,000-pound maximum trailer weight across all models. This record's own performance and identification sections are both empty for the year, leaving no period road test and no series or body-style code on record for the 2007 Grand Prix.⁴
