Re: G6 convertible dead?
FWIW, I just got the latest issue of Pontiac magazine yesterday (GM's publication) , and it has the G6 convertible on the cover, and a huge story featuring the G6 hardtop convertible...

Pontiac made absolutely no secret about this car.
BTW, it's still on:

It would definetly benefit GM to do its best to get a convertible hardtop out at this pricepoint into the market; people will definetly buy this car. It would be wise to have it completely done before spring arrives, instead of releasing it in the end of fall/early winter like they did with the Solstice.

Bad business move you gave the competition more time to see it before it hit the streets AND then it gets bad press because it is taking longer than expected.

As long as GM gets the G6 verts on the road at all, its a huge deal for them. G6 is one of the best volume cars they've come out with in years. The convertible will sell and sell. Even if GM drags their feet even more to make sure there's no issues. Do it and get the convertible on the streets. Has to happen.

Re: G6 convertible dead?
GMI has a great news story up on the story we first reported on. Go check it out.
Other than that, I have nothing else to add....
except that new Pontiac model I mentioned in my piece on C&G is slated for umm....."very soon"

OK.....i'll take the bait and speculate on this one......
Chevy is producing a high volume RWD chassis. there is a coupe based upon this chassis slated to have a "design study" at NAIAS. we believe this to be the next generation Camaro. now, like Josh said, there is a new Pontiac model coming "very soon". could this new model be based upon the same chassis the Chevy coupe will be sporting, or could this be the RWD sedan based off "Zeta"(you guys know which one i mean). hmmmmmm.........
