Would 97+newer grand prix bucket seats fit in my car?

I found a pair of dark gray leather sets on ebay from a 97 grand prix w/ power drivers seat only. Would these work in my car?

The seat MIGHT fit, I think they are a little wider but unsure. You would almost have to measure the seat.

The track I would suspect is different, but you never know.

Personally I think the new Grand Prix seats stink for comfort. Too hard for my personal taste.

If the new seats are like the old seats (previous version), then no, they don't. I tried to fit an '88 GP seat in my bird. It was about 3" too wide. The GP has a smaller center hump than the F-bodies do to the lack of driveshaft.
