In terms of your comparision, I have a question. Are fleet sales factored into those numbers?

I could easily turn around and say the same about the Sonata. It doesn't offer remote start, no huge sunroof, no performance model, and no On Star (or any telecommunication service).
One needs to understand that there is just NO CAR that offers EVERYTHING everyone wants. Just about every company has features no one else has, like GM's Panaromic Sunroof and remote start. To me that is not a bad thing at all. If every car had all of the same features, it would be a boring market.
As for the comparison. You know as well as I do that they don't realease fleet numbers. Considering that 63% of G6 buyers are conquest, that only leaves 37% of current GM/ fleet buyers, and of course there are a lot of current GM buyers buying G6's. If I were to guess, I would say about 10% fleet for the G6. But I'm not positive on that number.
