Loaner Car (not quite a Vibe but a Pontiac still)

Post by Whelan »

2008 Pontiac G6 GT sedan with a 219hp 3.5L V6, 8 speaker monsoon system and that cosmic blue. I like the color and the interior is comfortable and quiet. Smooth engine with nice acceleration, I love the inst. mpg thing. And I get to cruise around with some bling bling 17" chrome wheels. Also has foglamps, cruise, all those goodies, but I miss my sunroof.

I like the G6. They have been improving, and the 3.6L is a good engine. I completely agree with Wave about the GXP. The grille is kinda goofy. And the spoiler might be a little much, but other than that its not too bad.

I had an 06 G6 for about a year and then I traded it in on my Vibe.It was the 3.5,but it was a rental car prior to my getting it,and they probably did lots of burn outs,I love my Vibe! I have had it for three weeks today,and it has 430 miles on it.
