It certainly looks good, somewhat similar to Scion tC. It also has juicy interior. Did anyone see/drive it? Post your impressions and thoughts here.

I have yet to see one in person but I plan on changing that this weekend. From what Ive seen from Pontiacs website, it looks really cool. My only concern is its quality. My brother is a service technician for a local Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealership. He is always telling me about all of the problems they have seen with the already existing G6 sedan. Yesterday when I asked him if they have gotten any of the new coupes in, he said yes they have at least one. And the reason he knows this is because he saw it in the service area being worked on already and it hasnt even made it out to the lot to be sold yet. Im sure my interest in this car will not go any further than just looking at it.

GM was the highest automaker in terms of long term quality and is consistantly earning more and more points in initial quality as the gap bet. american and Japanese cars in that area is for all practical porposes G-O-N-E.
 
The Malibu i think also scored good in quality, the new 2004 one i mean. The g6 is architeturally based on that car, so it should be screwed together just as well.
 
Also, since this is its second year, i imagine that many of the bugs are bieng worked out. Every car has first year bugs, but the g6's only realy problems i hear abot are with the steering, something about a left turn going bad. I don't see any reason GM would not fix this issue.
 
The coupe should be awesome, and it puts its sights squarly on the accord which imo is its only real competitor since the solara is too big, tiburon too cheap and mustang too powerful and rear-drive.
 
someone back in the sedan thread did buy one. WE NEED HIM TO COME HERE!

I was in the dealer for service on the Canyon and they had a black G6 coupe w/3.9l V6 in the showroom. Every bit as good looking as the Solara, or better - ought to be a good seller. It is the first coupe in many years that shares a family with the sedan; that GM has designed the coupe to be unique in its own right. With the 3.9l it ought to be a lot of fun. I was impressed.

I actually have a 2006 Pontiac G6 coupe on order (in electric blue). They are going to have the exact one I want within 2 weeks, which is good turn around time. I have never driven a Pontiac, but my dad swears by their sturdy feeling and strong track record for being reliable and great cars.
 
I test drove the coupe last week and was extremely impressed by the ride and handling. I drive a Jeep Cherokee right now, and it feels like a kids toy compared to the new coupe. Many options come standard on both models (fog lights, monsoon stereo, day time lights) so it is a good buy. Very affordable and most definitely a nicer car than the Accord coupe.

I really don't care about all of GM, but this is less than stellar:

So far the G6 is selling about half of what the Grand Am it replaced did. They better hope that coupe sells really well. I read that the convertible is delayed.

While it is less than stellar it is also better than most.
 
Also, remember that The G6 did not have the 4cyl when it came out, and was overpriced. Now they both have the 4 cyl and they have lowered the price, atleast the 4 cyl model is very affordable, then add in any incentives and you have a very nice car at a very good price.
 
The only thing is, i wish they would add some more metallic trin around the dash, like they have in the torrent. It brightens up the cabin. The chrome everyware is very nice, however.
 
I think if GM kept the price as is, but offerred there 3.6L 255hp V6 here, the car sales would not need incentives. Its just a more refined engine and more noticable to the driver. I have not driven the GTP, and although it is nice and I understand why they stick with what they got, many people just want DOHC.
 
The GTP should be really awesome though. I think GM has a hit on its hands. Give the car somemore time, you will see this year they should sell quite a few G6's.

Hasn't that been GM's story for about the last 25 years...coulda, woulda, shoulda?
 
"Give the car somemore time, you will see this year they should sell quite a few G6's." Unless you mean 2006, this year is 75% over and the prime selling season (Summer) is definitely over.
