Just looked at the site. I think the G5 will do well. I would still buy a G6 coupe if I was in the market for a small car.

 

it sucks, that picture isn't evenn new. we modified it in a weekly contest way back when. rebadges are stupid unless done well or made global. this seems to be neither.

 

Wait, I thought the official site launched two years ago here:

I like the car, I'm ordering one (the G5 Pursuit) on Saturday

That was good -- very well put! :-D

I see from the actual G5 site though, that they are offering a number of accessories for the car. I know from an article I read awhile back that Pontiac was kind of going the "Scion-route" with a bunch of factory available stuff -- like gas-struts for the hood? Kinda weird but appreciated (the gas struts should be standard fare by now anyway.

I like the 3 spoke steering wheel on the interior though.

 

The car that should have never been built!

 

Well, it got the new corporate radio, the new corporate wheel, the Kappa gauges, and some different rims. It looks like it also got heated seats which are nice...

The GT with the 2.4L should be the base model, and the 2.0SC should be in the GT. There is absolutely nothing sporty about the 2.2L Ecotech. Be prepared to reread all of the complaints that where written about it when they reviewed the Ion and the Cobalt.

 

So why does the G5 have the stereo with the Aux jack, and no other pontiac has it yet? Retarded.

So does that mean the Tahoe and Yukons are stupid rebadges? No one ever seems to complain about them. Don't get me wrong I think they both look awesome but how is it any different with the Cobalt and G5?

They have much different sheet metal. There are very few differences on the exterior betweent the Cobalt and the G5. The interior is what should have been in the Cobalt on launch.

 

I like the steering wheel but the grill and tail light i don't like so much could of been done better. I didn't see a Sedan im happy there not doing it. They should do a hatch or extened coupe wit suicide's. The should of done projectors on this car and eye lids and darker tails or rounder but not the cobalt sedan lights or G6 same differance. Should sell good but will take away from Cobalt. I hope the GXP version is Turbo'd

 

GM is even giving the car its own webpage? Isn't that a bit too much of an investment? Before you know it they're gonna be thinking they should waste money on a different fascia!

 

I'm suprised they didn't call it "The First Ever Pontiac G5". LOL

 

Great car. Pontiac builds mediocrity. So much for excitement.

 

Its actually pretty nice looking.
Does the Cobalt get the interior fixes also? If not, Chevy should be pissed.

 

They are actually serious about this car. I guess it does make some sort of sense in light of the sky- high gas prices. Still, GM could have done a lot more to make this car look like a proper Pontiac. This have could have also bought them more time before a proper replacement is ready because the Chevy Cobalt is already looking dated.

:fall:

 

Looks good. I hope it sells well.

 

I noticed that site the other day. The car doesn't look very bad at all, IMO. If I didn't already have a Pontiac coupe in my garage, I'd be ordering one right now.

 

I really don't have a problem with this as a quick fix. It's fairly apparent that GM doesn't want this to be the modus operandi anymore, but they also failed to create a small car for Pontiac. There's one in the pipeline now but it's a few years away, so they rebadged and limited it to the coupe. The Pontiac gets the Aux input jack and a different front and back end. I'd buy the GT coupe of the Chevy SS coupe right now. This gives the GMC/Pontiac/Buick dealers something good for under $20K. The Solstice isn't really under $20K with any equipment and the barebones G6 is just that.

 

they put that silly radio into it

 

Now that they have those lights on the G5, they need to make the Cobalt Sedan with the coupe lights, like the SEMA concept.

While theyre at it, we need an SSSC sedan Cobalt.

 

Said the great Bob Lutz:

"The interior is fairly different."

Now, I like Bob, but the only real differences are the guage faces, steering wheel, and the ubiquitous corporate radio. Just how different is "fairly different" I wonder...
