  • Pontiac G6 GXP Coupe

    This is looking interesting. Might be worth a look if it hits the streets. I like the looks......if it gets at least 280HP, I could live with it as a daily driver.

    I don't like the hood, but a nice car other than that. I don't think i would buy one though. How much do those weigh? At 280 hp. it should be pretty quick.

      I looked at one theother day at a dealership - I was there getting parts for the T/A. They are really nice looking but the sticker on the coupe I was looking at was 27 or 28K - can you say hello GTO??

        Nice looking car. Probably a blast to drive. If the sticker doesn't come in at an astronomical price, it might well compete with the WRX and SRT4 crowd. Almost has similar lines to the Acura RSX.

          My neighbor's a Pontiac mechanic. He tells me the G6's are coming in droves to have their steering fixed. Seems to be a big problem with the electric steering with these cars.

            wow...that's pretty slick. I'll pass on the hood though...but slick indeed.

              Is the GXP using electric or hydraulic steering?

              It's probably something along the lines of the Malibu SS system. From what I've heard, that system was adjusted to feel a little heavier. The car rags generally had good comments about how it felt.

                that is very slick. I love it. I always like those G6's. The coupes look really sharp. That looks even better.

                  Well, hopefully hydraulic, as the electric system seems to be very troublesome. The feedback or lack thereof is also a major downer.

                      That huge front grill has to go......I hate those things! Audis were good looking cars until they decided to put those big things on their cars. Now everyone is copying that look, including Pontiac......why?

                        I like everything about that car! Hopefully it performs well.
