GM’s Pontiac G6 Convertible is sold out in many regions across North America, Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said in a recent interview. “The Solstice is sold out, the Sky is sold out, [and now] the Pontiac G6 Convertible is sold out,” he said. GM plans to keep up with demand, however, and has already started producing 2007 models. Lutz hopes GM’s three new hit convertibles will help improve the automaker’s image among U.S. consumers. “What we’re seeing is the old beliefs about General Motors — which we probably earned over 20 or 35 years — that all our cars look the same, our quality isn’t very good, the vehicles use a lot of gas: none of that is true anymore,” he said. “But these perceptions linger.”
