Earlier this week we told you about the new 2007 Pontiac G6 GXP Coupe concept, which will be on display at the New York International Auto Show. General Motors release four photos of the car, one of which showed the car’s controls — including a manual stick shift, but with no clutch! Several observant Leftlane readers spotted the anomaly, and posted about it in our comments section. It looks like General Motors finally realized its error, and they took a new photo that shows the car with a clutch pedal. IT looks like when GM said they created this concept to gauge public reaction — they really meant it. It seems the car is strictly an aesthetic study, not a working prototype. See the full report with the updated photos.

That’s an amazingly cheap photochop.
Actually, the “original” to me looks very photoshopped, like the red accents in the interior were color shifted from original “chrome” pieces…
Oh well, I’m sure the real car won’t be photoshop, because that makes absolutely no sense.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
With the number of negative comments its receiving on several web sites, this one won’t be built.
Unless they’re crazy.

The car is ok, but nothing to sing about. Pontiac needs to completely redo it’s entire lineup. Time for Pontiac to think outside the box if it is to survive. The first thing I would do is redesign a new front end for Pontiac, something that doesn’t include the twin port grill thing. But you would still recognize it as a Pontiac.

they’re crazy not to build a GXP G6. Pontiac is supposed to be the “performance” division of GM. While the GTO and Solstice GXP are truly performance vehicles, the G6 is definitely not. A 270 HP V6 with a manual is a step in the right direction… now to fix that BF ugly front…

Pontiac nailed it!!!!!!!!!!! They couldn’t have done a better job on this design. It is unique and nothing on the rode is like it.

I like it! Pontiac needs to make the G6 sportier. The G6 GTP lacked ground effects, hood scoops, and a spoiler. It didn’t look much different than the GT. I think this GXP looks awesome on the outside. I do not like the red interior accents tho. That needs to go and just replace with the standard chrome accents. Also, I hope this car is available with both a manual and automatic transmission.
