[Aprime]

EW, Facelifted G6 looks HORRID.

 

[asylum]

the G6 looks like its got a cold and someone need to wipe its nose.

pity coz the rear actually looks quite nice.... :lmao:

 

[from oz]

Ahh so that is what Holden's new centre console red led guages look like.

Better but still not great.

 

[mikmak]

All new for 2009 Aztec

Pontiac really needs some help.

 

[zabolots]

Pontiac really needs some help.

Damn straight.

 

[BigAls87Z28]

I belive thate the G6 GXP model...not the face lift.

 

[Titanic]

I belive thate the G6 GXP model...not the face lift.

I think so, too.

I'm surprised with the lack of G6 updates, especially given the Malibu and Aura were updated.

Didn't those models, and almost everything else, get Bluetooth? Why not on the G6?

+1, that looks pretty dorky imo, not sporty

It was built by toyota. What do you expect?

 

[Baz]

GXP G8 looks good. The rest I'm really not overly keen on. The Pontiac 2 grill look just doesn't suit and I'm wondering if Pontiac should look to move away from the twin front grill. I no its what they are known for but the G6 is massive and the G5 is small and would probably look better as a single grill.

 

[autofan]

EW, Facelifted G6 looks HORRID.

That would be the existing GXP model, carried over from 2008. Non-GXP G6 models may be getting a 2009 facelift but I've seen nothing official yet.

 

[Ed Arcuri]

What, no info. on the G-3! . . . reminds me of the old wide-trackin' Pontiacs of my youth.
On a serious note: would like to see E-85 avalable, especially on the Solstice.
Cheers,
Ed Arcuri

It was built by Toyota. What do you expect?

Built by Toyota, we know. But who designed the 2009 Vibe...GM/Pontiac or Toyota? This is the real question as to its looks/design.

I do think this new vibe doesn't look as good as the original. This one does look kinda horrid.


I find it strange that the Torrent is still in the line up. It should be done away with by now & only Equinox's made til the run of this design is done & the new Nox & GMC Terrain come around. Will this be the last year for the never should have been small SUV in Pontiac's line up?? I surely hope so.:yup:

I am glad there isn't a G3 for '09. Hopefully GM/Pontiac will come to it's senses & not release that abomination into Pontiac's line up at all. Give it to Saturn instead til the next gen Corsa arrives!

 

[ponchoman49]

Pontiacs line up is looking more sad by the year. The Vibe makes me want to puke as does the "will it ever go away China 3400" in the Torrent! The G5 loses it's GT 2.4 model, has no supercharged performance varient and makes due with the entry level 2.2 Ecotec despite being the "PERFORMANE" division of GM. The G6 coupe is a strange mixture of plain blah Toyota and Bugs Bunny thrown into a blandtastic forgettable package and the 15/22 MPG 3900 that is still offered in the convertible must have Toyota and Honda in stitches. The silly named G8 does offer some excitement in it's rear drive GXP models but with the same bland exterior rapper and the Solstice rolls on unchainged (maybe a good thing considering how GM has screwed up poor Pontiac these days).

 

[Lawnchair8]

Pontiac is CAR!


...also ask about our Torrent and Vibe

Why no mention of the Solstice Coupe? No Solstice pics??

 

[AmericanRevolution]

I'm sooo.... disappointed.

 

[montrealvue]

I'm sooo.... disappointed.

I just yawned at the "excitement" division. Not a good sign. The G6 could use a better front end. That one looks pretty half assed.

 

[red_rider]

It was built by toyota. What do you expect?

The last model was built by toyota too, but it looks sportier than this one.
