1st G6 ont the lot sold in one day

Post by steves76 »

I stopped by the dealer today and they sold the first G6 the have recieved. The sales man who sold me my vibe said that Consumer Reports had bought the car because they have the testing grounds here in CT. Hopefully it does well it looks like it might be a great seller

Gord Anderson GM Village where I work is expecting a few within the next week or to so the sales guys told me. I can't wait to see one up close.

Don't get too attached, though, and abandon your Vibe.

NEVER!!! That would be a sin. My vibe was angry with me just for looking at that.

Do not get me wrong I really like the car but at times the rear tail lamps and deck lid look like a NEON at first glance to me.

Personally I dont like the G6 at all maybe its because it is replacing the Grand Am which I love and I just think that it was a big mistake to replace the Gran Am just like it was a mistake to mess with the Vibe.

And I'm not bashing your opinion. But I fail to see how anyone could justify keeping alive a platform and vehicle that was so dated, the company pretty much "gave up" on it and focused on its replacement. The late model GA's had so many issues, I'm shocked they sold.

One of the G6's at the Chicago Auto Show was sticker priced at a bit over $28k. My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw that. For that kind of money, I can get a Grand Prix GTP, and have a lot more car for the same money.
