Good job nsap and everyone that makes this site possible!

Rumor Mill: Next gen Pontiac G6 will be RWD

Rumors abound within the hallowed halls of General Motors as it prepares to go through a major transformation that will include products designed to make the world take notice. For a brand that was once deemed "damaged" by car guy Bob Lutz, Pontiac is destined to make a huge splash at the upcoming North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

An interesting rumor is that the next G6 replacement will be a rear-wheel drive vehicle on a yet-to-be determined platform. Could this be a viable contender to the 3-series?

Yet another possibility is a rear-drive compact car replacing the current badge-engineered G5 under the G4 name. Speculation has this vehicle riding on the Kappa platform that underpins the Solstice and being available in both coupe and sedan models. GM has been mulling a second Kappa car for a while, and it sounds like it still is.

Last but not least, there has been talk of a Grand Prix replacement called the G8 that will be built on the Zeta platform. From what we hear this car will definitely appear at the Chicago Auto Show in February, if not sooner at the Detroit show in January Aren't rumors great?

Yea, I understand that 'nsap' started a thread, but his thread begins with "Rumors abound within the hallowed halls of General Motors ...".

So I can assume he did not make this up. I am just curious to how he backs this up? [An Editorial check if you will.] Since GMI is being quoted we need to make sure we can support what we state, that way we keep our integrity and trust.

Concur. I'd love to see all these rumors come true, but a shred of proof please...like spy shots or something.

Cheers...and congrats anyway for the plug NSAP!
