4T65[edit]

If I remember correctly, the 4T56 was used on the 2006 GTP and on the 2007 G6 convertible. Can someone confirm and add it? 98.208.15.90 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why Alero Didn't Get Replaced By The G6[edit]

N platform was the Epsilon's predecessor. The Grand Am & Alero were the same! The Alero didn't have a successor, although you could consider the fleet-only Chevrolet Classic as its successor! Maybe an upper-end Chevrolet Malibu had replaced the Alero. -- Bull-Doser 20:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. If they had introduced a new Buick compact, just after the Alero, maybe. The Chevrolet Classic is a bargain-bin fleet queen, the opposite of Oldsmobile's (supposed) image. The new Malibu is still on the entry-level side. I think it's safe to say GM is out of the premium compact business, and possibly for the better. --Sable232 23:35, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's also safe to say that there was nothing premium about the Alero. Except for the exterior styling, it was a Grand Am, in the mechanicals, the interior quality, and the price and features. If you really wanted to stretch (as certain members seem to like to), the closest thing to a current replacement would be the Saturn Aura. But it didn't have a direct replacement, because it didn't need one. That's why they killed the brand. IFCAR 12:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially, the Saturn Aura replaced the Alero. Saturn is moving into the void left by Oldsmobile, marketing-wise.

I love this car, it's stylish and everything. It's too bad they are going to use it in NASCAR, too classy to use it in that sport. But it might be good, it would show I am not an elitest, kinda like what sam walton did with his yellow truck.

That picture with oprah is so fake it's scarry, I get sick of her gender politics.

Feminine Car???[edit]

It wasn't as cool in the beginning, but the newer 2007 models look amazing. But I remember during the initial release of this car, there were all these subtle clues indicating Pontiac was targetting a female audience for this car -- the TV ad using a women, the fact that it looks like a compact, and the whole Oprah Winfrey thing. Is this a female car? How about the statement in the G6 article itself: "the Grand Am had previously sold 65% to women". Is this for real? I always thought the Grand Am/Prix were manly/sporty vehicles. --Fshafique 03:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fancied up Grand Prix to me, but it does look a bit more feminine than its predecessor. I know mostly girls that drive Grand Ams, and the sole G6 owner I know is female. -- Phoenix2 ^(holla) 05:30, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems I've made a mistake. The 2007 models don't look that amazing. I confused it for a picture of the new concept G6 introduced back in some autoshow in 2003 and that looked amazing. I mean feminine or not, I'd still go for it. The current models look nothing like the 2003 concept. But I'm still surprised that Grand Ams had a larger female following.--Fshafique 10:01, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that the statement "This despite the fact that the Grand Am had previously sold 65% to women, and Pontiac was intending on preserving that audience as part of its overall plan" was added on 13 January 2007 by an anonymous user from IP 68.60.161.140 with no citations to backup that statement. Seems like hearsay, and who knows how it hurts GM sales. Unless it's true?--Fshafique 10:33, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The new street edition?[edit]

I have been looking at some amazing pictures of the new Street edition of the 08'GXP edition, any way we could get some info on that?72.95.137.5 17:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-- The Street Edition is an appearance package offered on the GT and GXP trims. It does nothing to the powertrain. Here is some information taken from the GM ordering guide:

(TV1) GXP Street Edition, includes performance-styled hood with scoops and hammerhead-styled spoiler

(TV5) GT Street Edition, includes unique front fascia with powder coat mesh upper and lower finished grilles, unique rear fascia, unique rocker extensions, (DL6) body-color power-adjustable outside mirrors and single dual-walled Chrome exhaust tip

maybe we should change one sentence[edit]

Hi all, I was reading where it says "The G6 name is new but the car is a replacement for the Grand Am." In my opinion that would be an inaccurate statement. I'm not disagreeing that the G6 replaced the Grand Am but this sentence insinuates that the car is a grand am with a new name which is definitely not the case. As we know, the grand am and g6 were both available during 2005. The g6 got car of the year that year and with all of it's accomplishments replaced the g6 for good reason. What do you think?

G6 with manual trasmition[edit]

When was last G6 with manual transmition produced? how many were there? 75.88.188.113 (talk)

I think you may find answers to your question on a GM or Pontiac enthusiast website. Generally the talk pages about a subject are meant for improving the article ;-) --Analogue Kid (talk) 17:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Last Pontiac G6 Produced?[edit]

Is there an actual link to a story about the final Pontiac G6 produced, other than a sales chart? Or any article that has a link to this actual vehicle? Is this car in a museum or was it sold to somebody at a dealership? I find it a little hard to believe that GM would restart a production line to build only one vehicle as the article states.Cascade1988 (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2014 (UTC)Cascade1988[reply]
