Neither Buick nor Oldsmobile offered coupe versions of their midsize models.All Grand Prix models used V6 engines and a 4-speed automatic transmission.

In fact, track width (distance between wheels on the same axle) grew by more 2 inches in front and 3 inches in the rear, compared to ’96 models. A wider stance was touted as a revival of Pontiac’s “Wide Track” look of the 1960s. Coupes and sedans had the same styling, except for rear doors and quarter panels.

Redesigned for 1997, bigger in size and racier in appearance, Grand Prix shared its front-drive, midsize platform with Buick’s Century.
