How can you Change your GT already?

Also the GTP has Stabilatrak and Auto AC system.

You can read my reviews here (http://www.g6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487&highlight=Test+drive) and there (http://www.edmunds.com/new/2006/pontiac/g6/100543338/ratings_consumer.html?tid=edmunds.n.optionsresults .vdpheader.ratingsbox.1.Pontiac*) and another here (http://www.g6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=395).

To sum it up, here are the pros and cons if you don't want to read:

Pros:
*Window indexing on coupes
*Auto-climate
*6-speed avail on GTP-shifts are smooth and short
*Unique styling and not very many on the road-everyone thinks it looks like a lot of cars (ie Solara, 350Z, etc) but once you look at it, it has its own styling
*Stabilitrak system
*Decent grade leather avail
*Smooth ride but sporty suspension
*4-cylinder gas econ out of v6's

Cons:
*Rear window is almost impossible to judge distance of cars and such
*Ass end so long that it is difficult to accurately know where the rear of the car is (granted I'm not used to it yet)
*Chrome bezels and shifter surround-leaves prints everywhere!

If you going for the auto the main pro is the GTP comes with the 4T65! and not the POS 4T45
