Well..., that, too, but, like somebody already noted there, the coupe definetely has a lot of Solara in it.

Other than that, to me it looks pretty bland... :blah:

I want to get in before all the Anti-GM posts come up with it looks like several different cars combined in one posts.

I thinkthe G6 coupe, hard top vert, and sedan are going to be 3 great cars that will shake up the mid size market. Great move by Pontiac. Cant wait for the 3.9 adn 6spd manual.

The front end looks great and I love the roofline of that coupe, very sports car like. The taillights look too Solara-ish but I can live with that. Overall very sporty coupes, much better than the current Grand Am coupe.

The first thing I thought when I saw those was "Honda Accord fighter".

They look a lot like Honda Accords IMHO, but that isn't really a bad thing. Pontiac has really outdone itself with the G6.

They look great, but the coupe definatly needs a spoiler. AWD version can come soon enough. Should be a big hit.

Re: Better pictures of the G6 Coupe and Hardtop Convertible...

Why is Pontiac stealing styling cues from Toyota, as stated before, the Coupe and Convertible have taillights off a Solara, whereas the Sedan has the rear, taillights, and rear wheel fenders of the Scion Tc.

To me the car looks fine, I like the rear of the Solara, but I wish Pontiac didn't make it so obvious. The only thing I don't like about the G6 is the headlights, they seem a tad to raked for the lines of the car. Other than that

Yeah, the G6 will grab the competition by the nose and kick them in the ***.

Re: Better pictures of the G6 Coupe and Hardtop Convertible...

I like the 4 door but that coupe is not doing it for me. As some others have pointed out, it looks like a Solara from the rear and that immediatly came to mind as soon as I saw it. This is not a good thing either. The Solara is one of the ugliest cars on the road along side the Lexus SC430. The droopy ***-end looks terrible in my opinion. I would like to see more pics of that coupe to be more certain of my judgement. This seems to be one of the rare occasions where the sedan looks better than the coupe.

Re: Better pictures of the G6 Coupe and Hardtop Convertible...

Big That wheelbase is huge! Looks very disproportionate.

THey shoyuld have used the shorter 106" wheelbase from the Malibu sedan.

Ah I don't care anyhow, I am getting a Cobalt
