=== 1989β1997 === [[File:White Pontiac Grand Prix.jpg|thumb|right|A mid-1990s [[Pontiac Grand Prix#1988|Grand Prix]]]] Pontiacs introduction included anti-lock brakes, GM's [[GM Quad-4 engine|Quad-4]] engine, [[airbag]]s, and composite materials. Safari station wagon production ended in 1989, the last V8-powered full-sized, rear-wheel drive Pontiac until the 2009 G8. The 1990 model year saw the launch of Pontiac's first [[minivan]] and [[light truck]], the [[Pontiac Trans Sport|Trans Sport]]. In addition, the Grand Prix line added its first-ever 4-door model, offered in LE and STE trims. At the end of the 1991 model year, the 6000 was discontinued in favor of the newly expanded Grand Prix lineup and the new Trans Sport minivan, which replaced the 6000 station wagon. In 1992, a brand-new Bonneville was introduced. This full-size model featured aerodynamic styling, large expanses of curved glass, front-wheel drive, and the 3800 Series I V6 as standard equipment. A new sub-model, the SSEi, was introduced in 1992 carrying all standard equipment from the SSE model, plus the 205 hp supercharged 3800 V6. For 1993, the Bonneville added a new option package (H4U) called the Sport Luxury Edition (SLE), which was available on the SE model. This package included leather bucket seats, a specific grille, side trim, exhaust, dash trim, lace-styled alloy wheels, as well as a rear spoiler, sport handling suspension systems, and anti-lock brakes. An all-new Firebird was introduced in 1993. It was powered by either a 3.4 L V6 with {{convert|160|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}, or in Trans Am guise a {{convert|275|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} LT-1, a {{convert|350|CID|L|1|abbr=on}} V8, and could be backed by a T-56 six-speed manual. The Sunbird was replaced with the (still J-body) Sunfire in 1995. While a V6 engine was no longer available in the J-car, sedan, coupe, and convertible body styles did survive. For 1996 the Bonneville received updated front and rear fascias along with several other enhancements. The 3800 Series II V6 had become standard in 1995, featuring 205 hp. The updated supercharged 3800 Series II was now rated at {{convert|240|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} 240 hp.
