I was watching the monitors at work and they were talking about the new vehicles coming out and there are a few but the G6 caught my eye!

quote:Correct me if I am wrong... but I think the G6 is a concept not an actual car coming out?!The G6 is a concept car, but they used its design for the new car that will replace the Grand Am. Take a look at this thread: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5837

Nope. The G6 will soon be a production car that will replace the Grand Am in 2005. The Grand Am name is being retired after 2004.

Aztek is dropping, along with the GA name...What is it with Grand this and Grand that? Trans this, Am that, Fire and Suns and Birds..Oh my. Pontiac where do you get these names?

Check out this crude version of the G6. The front fascia is almost exact of the G6. I know my company is making them. Picture needs some work though.

I know about that link already, I was out of town for business and I was bored so I was playing around. I'll work on a better version when I get a chance.

Found this article on pontiac.com. No date on it, but pretty sure it's relatively recent:quote:"G6" Chosen as Name for Pontiac's New Midsize Car LAS VEGAS - Pontiac's all-new entry in the midsize car segment for 2005 will be called G6, Pontiac told its dealers here today in a meeting. "G6 is truly a 21st Century Pontiac," said Lynn Myers, Pontiac-GMC general manager. "It is so new and different from the Grand Am that it demands a name that is equally new. G6 will introduce Pontiac to those who haven't considered us before and more than thrill current owners." G6 shares GM's all-new global Epsilon front-wheel drive architecture with the Saab 9-3, Opel and Vauxhall Vectra, and Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx. "G6 is first and foremost a Pontiac," Myers said, "with contemporary, athletic styling, outstanding performance and a level of interior refinement typically found in more expensive cars. G6 delivers on all counts. It's a car people will want to drive and be seen in." G6 is named for Pontiac's midsize concept car that was unveiled at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit and that inspired the production car's design and intent. The "6" refers to the high performance V6 engine that was featured in the concept car. A version of that engine will be available in the production model. The G6 sport sedan will be introduced at the North American International Auto Show in January 2004. Sedan production will begin in the summer of 2004 at GM's Orion Township (Mich.) assembly plant. Coupe and convertible models will follow. Pontiac also announced the name of its new crossover sport van, the Montana SV6. The Montana SV6 will feature new SUV-like design, interior refinements and an array of features. Current owners have valued the Montana for its unique sporty appearance and versatility - qualities enhanced even further by the new look and features of the SV6, which stands for Sport Van with a V6 engine. The Montana SV6 will be unveiled in early 2004 with production scheduled to begin later that year. http://www.pontiac.com/news/news_popup. ... ryNumber=6
