1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2
Pontiac was successful in the NASCAR racing world, but that success didn’t often translate over to a consumer vehicle. The Grand Prix 2+2 was based on the successful design of the NASCAR platform, infusing an aerodynamic back window. The car also had a much different nose than the standard Grand Prix models. There was no denying that the Grand Prix 2+2 was a performance car, at least from the outward appearance (via Hot Cars).
The problem was when you got under the hood of it, the car had the same lackluster engine as other GM G-Body vehicles. The reliability and build quality of the Grand Prix 2+2 were also questionable at best. It wasn’t uncommon for interior pieces to break apart right after leaving the dealership parking lot. The Grand Prix 2+2 was one of the most overrated vehicles to come off of a GM assembly line around this period.
