The G6 coupe has some odd proportions to it that I think people aren't fans of.... Namely the amount of blank sheet metal between the doors and rear wheels.

I used to think that the GA sedan was goofy looking compared to the coupe, now I feel the opposite when looking at the G6.
Agreed Sure the Grand Am's "hey look at me" styling was not for everyone but The G6 looks to plain in comparison. However the Grand Am is a girls car (The ones I see usually have a female driver). It kinda sucked that the hood scoops on the GT's were fake but the Ram Air made up for it. Back on topic here it's nice that Gm has Finally put in a 4 cylinder but more power and torque would have been nice. My N bod easily trumps it when it comes to Torque numbers
