Pontiac continued the G6 series in 2009 with a revised model of the car which now include several new features that differentiate it from its predecessors.
Among the new equipment, we can mention four new exterior colors (Quicksilver Metallic, Summit White, Gold Mist Metallic and Silver Green Metallic), two new Sport packages and the most important, a new fuel-efficient 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine providing an estimated fuel consumption of 33 mpg in highway mode. Pontiac’s XM Satellite Radio is now standard on the base G6 while the remote vehicle starter system has become standard on GT and GXP.

In early 2004, the American car manufacturer Pontiac rolled out three versions of the G6 series, including a 2-door convertible, a 2-door coupe and a 4-door sedan.
Together with the other two variants, the Sedan version was based on the General Motors Epsilon platform, along with the 2002 Opel Vectra, the 2005 Fiat Croma and the 2007 Saturn Aura. In addition, the saloon packed the same three engine configurations, a 2.4-, a 3.5- and a 3.9-liter which produced 167, 201 and 240 horsepower. Successor of Pontiac Grand Am, the Pontiac G6 is still in production this year but there is no news regarding a potential model to replace it into the Pontiac line-up.

The G6 Coupe entered the market in 2006, the same year that also brought the hardtop convertible G6.
The coupe’s exterior and chassis dimensions were not different from the sedan’s, however, the most attractive part of the coupe was the sloping roof line that was reminiscent of the Nissan Z.

While in 2004 the sedan version was completely restyled, including the new G6 nameplate, it was rather a low seller due to multiples issues it encountered. Somehow, Pontiac needed to work hard to get people’s attention with a new version, be it coupe or convertible.

The standard engine that equipped the coupe was a GM powerplant of 3.9-liters, V6, that developed 240 hp and 241 pound-feet of torque.

The engine was mated with a 4-speed automatic transmission, however, no additional cost was required to choose a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The G6 could reach 100 kph in less than 7 seconds and that went together with its already sporty look. The sport suspension the G6 was equipped with made the coupe easy to handle.

The coupe could accommodate 4 people, with the 2+2 seat configuration. Looking from the outside, the space in the back would look cramped, however, inside, the rear passengers could actually enjoy a longer comfortable ride.

A best in the class, the rear trunk offered good storage room.

With the optional leather package, the cabin was fitted with two-tone leather upholstery, with great fit and finish of the materials throughout the cabin.

The G6 convertible entered the market in 2006, the same year that also brought the G6 coupe.
The convertible G6 was still suited for family duty, however, the most notable aspect was the retractable hardtop that took under 30 seconds to open or close, everything done with the touch of a button.

The convertible was available in two trim levels, the GT or the GTP.
