I do not think removing several images was necessary. I did not find them to be "low quality". At least leave them until someone gets a high quality one to replace it. Articles w/o photos can be a bit dull IMO.

[edit] How does one procure permission to display a magazine image?
I have one issue of Automobile Quarterly and it has an article on the '73 Pontiac Grand Am in it. How would I go about asking AQ if I can scan their picture and use it in this article? Respectfully, SamBlob 22:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I think that the motor sizes are wrong
Can someone please check the V6 motor sizes? I don't recall the later models having a 3.0L V6, or for that matter, a 3.3L V6. And, at some point, the engine designations were moved to 3100 and 3400.
The entire article is full of wrong information... especially with engines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.86.195 (talk) 02:42, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
- I'll have to do some quick research, but I'm pretty sure the 1993-94 GAs came with the Buick 3.3 before getting the GM 3100 corporate motor. As for the 3.0-liter, it came on some of the earliest (1985-1986) N-bodies, but GAs were pretty heavy on turbo and Quad 4 motors during the 1980s rather than the V6 (those were used mostly in Skylarks and Calais).

[edit] No More Grand Am For Me
As of November 15, 2007, I will no longer be photographing any Pontiac Grand Am automobile for me. This was due to IFCAR having the G6 (the Grand Am's successor) as his most-wanted Pontiac vehicle in photographs. IFCAR will handle the rest of my Grand Am job. -- Bull-Doser (talk) 15:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Supercar?
If anyone can explain to me how the 1973-1975 Grand Am could be classified in any way as a supercar, I'd be grateful. As far as I've ever been able to tell, the Grand Am was basically a really nice intermediate with some Euro-inspired styling and muscle car engines. I fail to see how that compares with, say, a Ferrari 365 GT or a Lamborghini Countach, but maybe I'm missing something. Duncan1800 (talk) 09:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
