You know it will be interesting to see what they have to say. :) But it will be even more interesting when the GTP rolls out! :D

There are a couple current members with G6's on order. But I'm with you, I can't wait until a G6 owners registers for the first time.

LoL yeah. Everyone here has a grand am, they might as well make a site called grand am owners club. I wonder why no one has thought of that yet. It would prolly turn out to be a really great place to go

I'll hold off my final opinion until I drive one. :)

Yeah, kind of hard to 'approve or disapprove' without actually driving one ... the styling is a little different than I normally like so I'll have to see if it grows on me or not :)

sunrunner_pei

The styling hasn't really grown on me yet. :(

... me either but I'll be fair and say that I liked a little more in person than I did just viewing it in pictures :)

Looks the same in person to me. *shrug* Not ugly, but not my style either.

sunrunner_pei

Ahhh. Looks too much like an import to me. I guess that's what they were trying for. To me, if I wanted an import, I'd buy an import. *shrug*

99grandamse
10-28-2004, 02:12 PM
... I agree, that was probably a big factor in the design

sunrunner_pei
10-28-2004, 02:13 PM
...which was a mistake, IMO. But we'll let the sales numbers speak for themselves. They sure are doing a good job of advertising the car though!

99grandamse
10-28-2004, 02:14 PM
Yes, it is very seldom that I don't see at least one G6 commercial in every program that I watch ... the sunroof is niffty though :)

sunrunner_pei
10-28-2004, 02:17 PM
... and expensive

99grandamse
10-28-2004, 02:20 PM
... I bet, the 5 G6s they had at the one dealer I looked at all had the 'stanard' sunroof :(

sunrunner_pei
10-28-2004, 02:25 PM
IIRC, it's a $2700 CDN option.

99grandamse
10-28-2004, 02:29 PM
Really? Holy Crap!! Guess I won't be having one of those if I ever get a G6 ... but honestly though, I think the sunroof option on the Grand Am was $1800 CDN, wasn't it?

sunrunner_pei
10-28-2004, 02:31 PM
$1100. $1800 included the chrometechs, IIRC.

99grandamse
10-28-2004, 02:33 PM
... I think it was $1800 in '99, but I could be remembering wrong

Old Guy

Yes I did. The interior was exceptionally nice. It ran well, but I actually expected a little more "oomph." I have to say that the ride and handling is much better than my GA, but actually for the money difference I think I would possibly consider a GP instead.

I haven't got the bug yet, and probably won't until after winter. I hate the thought of getting a new car and driving it through all the crap right of the bat.

sunrunner_pei
10-28-2004, 02:36 PM
I know the feeling, Tom. I bought my car on Nov 1, 2002.

99grandamse
10-28-2004, 02:36 PM
Money difference? Actually Tom, I thought the price was very comparable to the GA ... IIRC, the G6GT was around $31,000 CDN which wasn't too far off the GAGT

sunrunner_pei
10-28-2004, 02:41 PM
Pretty close for the GT... but the GTP model will be close to the cost of a GP GTP.

99grandamse
10-28-2004, 02:41 PM
Probably

Old Guy
10-28-2004, 02:52 PM
When I did an honest comparison, GPGT vs. G6GT it comes to a $1000 difference, and you actually get a few options that you don't get on the G6. Plus the incentives on a GP are better. The difference between a loaded G6 and the GTP is $3000 stricker and there is no comparison at all between those two.

The incentive on a G6 is only $1000, and the incentive on a GP is $3500. I'd say it's a no brainer.

Old Guy
10-28-2004, 02:54 PM
Actually the base price on the GP is lower when you deduct the incentives. :(

vainot4u
10-28-2004, 10:18 PM
Have you taken the GP for a spin as well?...it is a heavier car (around 240 lbs.)...that could play havoc on the handling...just my 2 cents since I have driven neither. ;)

The other thing is the GTP w/Comp G package didn't impress me too much its 1/4 mile times were 15.015 acording to the booklet from the dealer...I would expect a supercharged 3800 to be pulling down at least mid to low 14's...just my opinion though... ;) :cool: :)

I test drove the first G6 to come at my dealer about 2 or 3 weeks ago. To me, the handling is better than the GrandAm (compared to my mom's 03 SE, not my 94). I loved the seats and the interior too.

As I saw at the dealer, the G6 is actually cheaper than the Grand Am was.
The base model G6 is 24 700$ which include V6, a/c, almost power everything and cd player, but now rims. My mom's 03 GA SE1 was 26400$ with comparable equipements with the Ecotec and 15 inches rims.

How about January 9th 2002? :) Probably the worst time ever to buy a car but my pos Topaz leaving me stranded 200km from home on Dec. 23rd really pissed me off ;)

I absolutely LOVE this car! I have a 2005 G6 GT in Stealth Gray with the Panaramic sunroof! I was surprised how comfortable it is to drive. I love the interior as well.

She's beautiful. I plan on taking a few more pictures today (now that the sun is out) and a movie of the roof opening.

I was a long time reader of GWownersclub, but never posted. (2000 GA GT1, 2003 GA GT) Now I am a happy G6 owner and hope to be a contributing member of the forum. :D
