The G6 coupe should have had this from the start along with a 6 speed manual as std equipment. The convertible badly needs to lose the 3.9 liter V6 which seems to lose HP and mileage every year. I mean 222 HP and 15/22 MPG is almost comical in todays market. And the worst part is the 3.6/6 speed auto gets better mileage at 17/26, has 30 more HP at 252 and is more refined to boot. As for the coupes styling, I think Pontiac went too far with the clean sides crap that every company is hammering down our throats today. Eliminating the bodyside molding only exaggerates this with way too much blank plain sheetmetal from the door back. I think that a character line or subtle ground effect would also help spice this car up. As it is it's way too plain looking for a sporty car. Thankfully the sedan still has a molding as an option and doesn't look so strange. I also wish GM would pair the 3500 with the 6 speed automatic in the GT at least. They did this with the Saturn Vue so why nothing else? The 3500, even when paired with the old 4 speed auto, gets very good mileage and the 6 speed would only compliment this.
