"The
G6 coupe and convertible are uniquely Pontiac vehicles that are great additions
to the family started by the G6 sedan," said Jim Bunnell, Pontiac-GMC
general manager. "The G6 coupe delivers outstanding performance and
generous interior room, and the G6 is the only hardtop convertible that has
room for four adults."
Both
the G6 coupe and G6 convertible will be available in GT and GTP models. The
GTPs will feature a 240 HP 3.9L OHV V6 coupled to a 4-speed automatic with
manual shift mode or a 6-speed manual in the coupe and sedan models - a package
that targets driving enthusiasts.
From
styling to interior fit, finish and materials quality, interior room to driving
dynamics, the new G6 is a solid step up from the old model. The coupe and
convertible models have all-new body panels rearward of the A-pillars. Large,
wraparound rear light on both models create a distinct look compared to the G6
sedan. LED-lit Center High Mounted Stop Lamps (CHMSLs) on the coupe and
convertible differ from the traditional incandescent bulbs of the sedan's
CHMSL. The coupe's CHMSL is located at the base of the back window, while the
convertible's is a wider lamp incorporated into the decklid, making a distinct
design element.
Powered
by the 3.5L V-6, GT models produce 200 HP (149 kw) at 4800 rpm with 220 lb.-ft.
of torque (302 Nm) at 4400 rpm. The 3500 engine is backed by the Hydra-Matic
4T45-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission system with
manual shift mode.
The
GTP models are powered by an all-new 3.9L HO V-6, which is rated at 240 HP (179
kw) at 5900 rpm with 245 lb.-ft. of torque (339 Nm) at 2800 rpm. It is paired
in the standard bundle with the Hydra-Matic 4T65-E with manual shift mode. It
also is available with a six-speed manual transmission system in the G6 coupe.
The
GTs use the 4T45-E Hydra-Matic, and the GTPs apply the 4T65-E Hydra-Matic, both
with a manual shift mode rendered superfluous with only four forward gears
