pushrod V6 is all but dead now except for the Impala, Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Caravan 3.8L. Nothing new is getting pushrod engines.

The Vibe is a small economic SUV - it's not design to be very sporty.
As for the G5 & G6 - they were just bland rebadged Chevys that at best could only match their Chevy counterparts in performance & fuel economy.
The only 2 2008-2009 Pontiac makes that was truely worthy of the classic Pontiac name in terms of performance was the G8 & the Solstice. Everything else was just a rebadged Chevy.

My coworker has a 2009 GT in the same color, and in person it has never looked sporty to me.
