GM to show another Pontiac G6 GXP show car

03/30/2006, 5:25 PM

By admin

General Motors will showcase a Pontiac G6 GXP show car at the New York Auto Show in April. The G6 GXP builds on the contemporary styling of the G6 coupe with a 270-horsepower 3.9L V-6 and a more aggressive, ground-hugging appearance and stance. The GXP show car will test both media and public reaction before a decision on production is made. In 2004, Pontiac showed a G6 GXP concept (pictured), but never made a production version.

Awesome!! 270 HP fwd = teh shizzznit!! who cares about torque steer? apparently not GM! Can’t wait to see this one nose dive… Note to GM: fwd performance = small cars (i.e. Mini). If you want driving “excitement” for a mid-size, it has to be RWD/AWD.

Nice car with plenty of power, but it would be better if it was RWD for real performance.

This should give the Altima, Maxima and Accord a bit of competition.

I had a grand prix GTP and it didn’t torque steer but it drive its way to a 14.1…if they put a blower on the G6 with its lesser weight they could have a decent performer on hand. It will be more than enough for a maxima or accord which is this cars direct competition

Pontiac needs a major makeover. I think it time for Pontiac to think outside the box. Get rid of the kidney shaped twin port grills. Every pontiac has them and that is why all their cars look the same from the G6 to the GTO. Next step is Pontiacs new design theme should be what the Solstice is, smooth flowing shapes, lots of sex curves.

“builds on the contemporary styling of the G6 coupe…”

Contemporary styling? Every Pontiac for nearly the last two decades has looked just like that. And “looked just like that” means “looks like garbage,” in my opinion.

I bet they added faux aluminum trim to “spice up” the interior.
