I like the G6 for the most part, I only have 2 complaints about it that are what probably kept me away from buying it:

-Not the quality of the entire interior..but just the center stack with the radio and the climate controlls....why did they make just one big rectangular hole and fill it in with those items? It doesn't help the dash flow at all, that is the only thing that hurts the looks of the interior for me.

-Secondly, the ride height. This is a car with dimensions very close to the Grand Prix and Monte Carlo/Impala, and I think it may even be taller, so why when I sat inside was I sitting so low to the floor? I know it is supposed to be a 'sporty' car, but it isn't a Miata or Mazda3 or Scion TC. I expected to have more room between the floor and the bottom of the seat.
Totally agree with the g6 coupe ride height. It takes an otherwise attractive design and makes it look ungainly and awkward. The authors are right about the interior though, i just bought a new Tiburon and it looks much more distinctive than the g6 coupe while costing a lot less.
