Noting the cars behind Mike Vanbrunt -- I do feel sorry for Pontiac dealers who have the G6 going up against the new Malibu or even Saturn Aura. There's really no comparison on the inside or out, and I wouldn't be surprised if the MSRP of a G6 wasn't significantly different or cheaper than the Malibu or Aura. Of course this kind of thing happens as GM "does the rounds", and one platform-mate lags years behind the other, but even the coupe and convertible don't mask the fact that the G6 is the least "rich" looking of the 3 - from the headlights to the bodywork to the interior....it just looks cheaper. And with gas prices where they are Pontiac dealers have no choice but to buy G6's for people looking for that class of car.
