Any tape measure will tell you this: Pontiac’s stance (not the
body) is wider than any other car. But driving a new Pontiac
will tell you more. That’s when you feel the extra measure
of balance, control and sure-footed roadability of Wide-Track
Wheels. The difference is so dramatic it’s hard to imagine;
yet it’s easy to discover. Just ask for a Wide-Track Drive.
