I saw this thing at the Chicago car show last year and the year before that.
When it was a concept it was supposed to be like a GTP with all wheel drive.
3.5L 200 horse FWD is a pretty far cry. Its just another GP GT.
The manual paddle shifting is already on the GPs
booo :chair:

One nice thing about it is that it is smaller than the GTP's....being more inline with the stratus/contour sized cars that pontiac didn't really have before, as the GTP was more taurus/intrepid sized.
I do think that it is a more handsome car than the similar chevy malibu.
I wonder why the 3.5 is the only v6 offered? Why not the new "high value" 3.9 liter?
Now, what's the deal on the 3.9 too? Is that a LS 5.3 motor with two cylinders loped off? I saw somewhere that it said "like it's big brother, the LS v8's". Anyone know?
The 3.9 at least would have 240hp/245ft-lbs in it's favor.
BTW, a very accord-esque looking G6 coupe will be coming out...and a GTP version with said 3.9 will be available. :thumbsup

First car to ever offer factory installed remote start. :thumbsup Thats one cool thing. I have been wondering why nobody has done that before. I always figured it was a safety and liability thing.
