2008 Pontiac G6 GXP
Anybody else think it's funny that Pontiac's racing team can make a cool looking G6 spoiler, but GM's attempt looks like crap? That chunky spoiler looks like %@&$. I'm not very fond of the grill on either of them for that matter honestly.
In the end, I guess it doesn't matter though. I'm not interested in buying a G6 in the first place.
But this is just going to add fuel to the fire that this is a poor man's G35.

I have to agree, I really didn't like Pontiac's 'bucktooth' grill on the GP GTP, I like it less here.
Too bad really, because that and the whale tail spoiler really detract from what could've been a sophisticatedly aggressive GT type car.

the sad thing is, it is already planned for production like that!

You just have to wonder who it was exactly that signed off on this package....and why. I mean it is simply awful, and that's about the nicest thing that I can say about it.
The spoiler, the front fascia, the wheels, bleh. Did someone frome GM see the whole package together, and feel that it actually looked good? If so, save one engineer's job and fire him/her instead. If you are completely clueless on how a car should look, should you really even be in this business?

I feel like for every step forward the G6 gets (3.6 HF, subtle revisions to class-up the inside), it takes 2 phenomenal steps back (that GXP is AWFUL, and no M6 for the 3.6)...
Now, on my 5th Pontiac, I'm questioning what the HELL I'm going to buy next. Wifey won't let me do RWD for her, so therefore the G6 was my next hope (an '07 GXP GP will be too old by the time we're done with the '04)...I pray future offerings are better, and more well thought out.
Something tells me the Japanese aren't this stupid, hence why we're getting our asses kicked by Nissan, Mazda, etc...

It looks like a vampire bat to me. Everything up to the hood and front bumper looks good to me. Its like a cheap, ugly attempt at japanese coupe styling.
There is no performance advantage on this car versus a GTP coupe is there? If so, I really cant see anyone purchasing this car unless theyre buying a car for their 16 year old son.
